Prevotella brevis Avgustin et al. 1997

Prevotella brevis is a species of bacterium. ^[1]

Prevotella species are part of the human oral and vaginal microbiota. They play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, ^[2] gingivitis, extraoral and some odontogenic infections, ^[3] and strains are usually carried in families, in so-called intrafamilial carriage. ^[4] It is also associated with carotid atherosclerosis. ^[3]
