Limosilactobacillus fermentum is a Gram-positive species in the heterofermentative genus Limosilactobacillus. It is associated with active dental caries lesions.[2] It is also commonly found in fermenting animal and plant material[3] including sourdough[4][5] and cocoa fermentation.[6] A few strains are considered probiotic or "friendly" bacteria in animals [7] and at least one strain has been applied to treat urogenital infections in women.[8] Some strains of lactobacilli formerly mistakenly classified as L. fermentum (such as RC-14) have since been reclassified as Limosilactobacillus reuteri.[9] Commercialized strains of L. fermentum used as probiotics include PCC,[10] ME-3[11] and CECT5716
