Notes:

Publication: Schlegel L, Grimont F, Ageron E, Grimont PA, Bouvet A. Reappraisal of the taxonomy of the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex and related species: description of Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus subsp. nov., S. gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus subsp. nov. and S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus subsp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:631-645.
- Given the congruence between whole cell protein electrophoreis and percentage of DNA-DNA hybridization, these data suggest that Streptococcus alactolyticus Farrow et al. 1985 is an earlier synonym of Streptococcus intestinalis Robinson et al. 1988 [1, 3].
