Fig. 1 — Taxonomical classification of S. bovis : This figure shows the correlation between the previously used biochemical/phenotypic classification and the new genetic classification of nonenterococcal group D Streptococcus . Reconstructed based on the description by Dekker and Lau, ¹ Schlegel et al, ⁴ and Jans et al. ⁵ ^# Methods used for analysis include MALDI-TOF (proteomic-based), 16s rRNA, sodA, and groEL sequencing (single-gene-based) and/or whole genome sequencing. ¹ ⁵ * Streptococcus equinus and S. macedonicus likely belong to biotype II/1 based on phenotypic data. ⁵ **Phenotypic data for S. alactolyticus is variable, and hence, biotypic classification is not possible. ⁵ BE, bile-esculin; MALDI-TOF, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight; SBSEC, Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex; SG, Streptococcus gallolyticus ; subsp., subspecies.
