Overview

  • Streptococcus anginosus subsp. whileyi is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 38.5%. Streptococcus anginosus subsp. whileyi is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Whiley2011Bergey; Jensen2013)



  • This organism has been recovered from sore throats and other clinical sources (blood, abscess, abdominal infections). It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
