Rothia is a Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Micrococcaceae. [1] [2] [3] Three species within Rothia have been shown to colonize humans: R. dentocariosa, R. mucilaginosa, and R. aeria [4] [5] [6] . These species are considered to be commensal, but they can cause disease in immunosuppressed humans. [7] [8]

Rothia is prevalent in human saliva and it produces enterobactin. Rothia is also prevalent in the human gut and can cause the emergence of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. [9] [10]

Eleven species are members of the genus Rothia. Rothia spp. have been isolated from diverse habitats, including humans, livestock, and natural and built environments. [11]
