Rothia is a Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Micrococcaceae.[1][2][3] Three species within Rothia have been shown to colonize humans: R. dentocariosa, R. mucilaginosa, and R. aeria[4][5][6]. These species are considered to be commensal, but they can cause disease in immunosuppressed humans.[7][8]

Rothia spp. are prevalent in human saliva and produce enterobactin. They are also prevalent in the human gut and can cause the emergence of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.[9][10]

Rothia spp. have been isolated from diverse habitats, including humans, livestock, and natural and built environments.[11] As of July 2026, 15 species have been validly published and are recognized as members of the genus Rothia.

Phylogeny

[edit]

The following reduced cladogram is based on 120 marker proteins from GTDB release R11-RS232.[12][13] It includes species with validly published and correct names that are represented by unsuffixed GTDB species labels. Placeholder species, names without nomenclatural standing, Candidatus taxa, and letter-suffixed species clusters are omitted. [1][13]
