Peptostreptococcus stomatis
P. stomatis was first isolated from the human oral cavity, but later also identified in the vagina, gasto-intestinal and urinal tracts. It belongs to a heterogenous group of Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) notorious for causing a number clinical infections in at-risk individuals. P. stomatis prefers the digestion of proteins and amino acids over carbohydrates. Recently, it has been found to be associated with adenoma and colorectal cancer.
