Rothia mucilaginosa is a Gram-positive, coagulase-negative, encapsulated, non-spore-forming and non-motile coccus, present in clusters, tetrads or pairs that is a part of the normal oropharyngeal flora.[3] Belonging to the family Micrococcaceae, it was first isolated from the mucous membrane of the cheek and gingiva.[4] It is an oral commensal, that has been linked to causing severe bacteremia in immunocompromised patients.[5] This bacterium has also been shown to form biofilms, similar to that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa[clarification needed][citation needed]. R. mucilaginosa is a cohabitant in the lower airways of patients with chronic lung diseases such as bronchiectasis,[5] however has been shown to elicit anti-inflammatory effects.[6]
