The Genus Veillonella

  • Reference work entry
The Prokaryotes

Introduction

Bacteria of the genus Veillonella Prévot are anaerobic, Gram-negative cocci (Rogosa, 1984). The type species was originally described by Veillon and Zuber (Veillon and Zuber, 1898) as Staphylococcus parvulus and renamed by Prévot (Prévot, 1933) as Veillonella parvula. Although all strains of Veillonella are phenotypically very similar, seven species are recognized by DNA homology analysis (Mays et al., 1982). The seven species can be identified by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of restriction enzyme digests of their 16S ribosomal DNA (Sato et al., 1997a). Veillonellae are found in the alimentary canal of warm-blooded animals and can constitute a major fraction of the bacteria on the epithelial surfaces of the human oral cavity.

Veillonellae are characterized by their unusual metabolism. They generally are unable to ferment carbohydrates including glucose but grow well anaerobically on lactate, pyruvate, malate or fumarate. They possess methyl...
