Type strains of these species are now available, and I propose that they be recognized. The available evidence indicates that S. ferus is a commensal of wild rats and that S. sobrinus and the other mutans streptococci (except S. ferus) are human commensals. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-33-4-883
