Streptococcus vestibularis (S. vestibularis) is a species of Streptococcus.[1] It is a commensal bacterium that can occasionally cause opportunistic infections within its human host.[2] It is part of the viridans streptococci, and has been identified as a member of the salivarius group of streptococci through sequence homology of the 16S rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) gene.[3][4] This group includes Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus thermophilus and Streptococcus vestibularis, which are genetically similar species of Streptococcus.[2]
