DESCRIPTIONOF LIGILACTOBACILLUS SALIVARIUS COMB. NOV.

Ligilactobacillussalivarius (sa.li.va’ri.us. L. masc. adj. salivarius salivary).

Basonym: Lactobacillus salivarius Rogosa et al. 1953 , 691 (Approved Lists); emend. Li etal. 2006

L. salivarius strains require pteroylglutamic acid and niacin for good growth. Riboflavin is also markedly stimulatory. Good growth does not take place in media unless polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) is added [ 61, 212]. The genome size of the type strains is 1.98 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 37.5.

Isolated from the mouth and intestinal tract of humans, cats, hamsters, chickens and swine, and from dairy products; the species shows no adaptation to specific hosts [ 213].
