Streptococcus gallinarum sp. nov. and Streptococcus oralis sp. nov.

Abstract
A numerical taxonomic survey of numerous strains of streptococci showed the presence of two clusters of strains that are distinct from the presently named species of Streptococcus. One group, from chicken intestines, is named S. gallinarum and the other, from the human mouth, is named S. oralis. The type strains are F87/276 (= PB21 = NCTC 11428) and LVG 1 (= PB182 = NCTC 11427), respectively.
