a
Other Streptococcus species identified were S. oralis (n = 1), S. oralis 2 (n = 1), S. mitis (n = 3), S. gordonii (n = 1), S. suis (n = 1), and S. thermophilus (n = 1).
b
Other genera identified were Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris (n = 19), Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (n = 2), and Gemella morbillorum (n = 1).
c
S. anginosus subsp. whileyi and S. constellatus subsp. viborgensis were only described in 2013 (7), and their profiles were not included in the database.
d
An S. constellatus subsp. pharyngis profile was included in the database, according to the manufacturer's manual; however, no isolate was assigned that final identification.
