The species Streptococcus bovis is no longer officially recognized, as it has been renamed Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies gallolyticus (Schlegel et al, 2003). However, the name S. bovis is still widely used in practice, and will most likely remain as the most important search string for this page.
