Prevotella bryantii explained

Prevotella bryantii, previously known as Bacteroides ruminicola subsp. brevis biovar 3, is a species of bacterium.^[1]

Prevotella species are part of the human oral and vaginal microbiota. They play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease,^[2] gingivitis, extraoral and some odontogenic infections,^[3] and strains are usually carried in families, in so-called intrafamilial carriage.^[4] It is also associated with carotid atherosclerosis.^[3]
