Synonyms[1][2][3][4]

Streptococcus bovis is a group of strains of Gram-positive bacteria, originally described as a species,[5][6] that in humans is associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, sepsis,[7] and colorectal cancer.[8] S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants,[9] and may cause ruminal acidosis.[10][11] It is also associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, a frequent complication occurring in patients affected by cirrhosis.[12] Equivalence with Streptococcus equinus has been contested.[4]
