Selective culture of human carious dentine for Veillonella strains resulted in the isolation of two strains of a Gram-negative, coccus-shaped bacterium that has not been described previously. Comparative 16S rRNA and dnaK gene sequence analysis indicated that the two strains were homogeneous and comprised a distinct lineage within the genus Veillonella, phylogenetically most closely related to Veillonella rodentium. This was supported by DNA–DNA hybridization, which showed clearly that the two strains were similar and distinct from other Veillonella species, and the production of major cellular fatty acids (C13 : 0 and C17 : 1{omega}8), which is consistent with other members of the genus Veillonella. Based on these observations, strains RBV81 and RBV106T represent a novel species, for which the name Veillonella denticariosi sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain RBV106T (=CIP 109448T =CCUG 54362T =DSM 19009T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA and dnaK gene sequences of strains RBV106T and RBV81 are EF185167 and EF185168 (16S rRNA genes) and EF219278 and EF219279 (dnaK), respectively.

A matrix of DNA–DNA hybridization results and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities is available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
