The pathogenicity of Rothia dentocariosa, the prototype organism, was first demonstrated experimentally in mice by Roth and Flanagan (2) in 1969. Although the occurrence ofR. dentocariosa in the oral cavity is well established, it has rarely been recognized as a human pathogen. The first reported human infection due toR. dentocariosa was described by Scharfen (3) in 1975 in the case of a periappendiceal...References1. GEORGBROWN LJ.
