Prevotella oralis is a species of anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria.[1] P. oralis is a commensal of the oropharynx and vagina.[2][3] The species is one of the predominant bacteria in the oral cavity. P. oralis can gain access to the gastrointestinal tract, where it can interfere with intestinal bacteria.[4]
P. oralis was formally described in 1990.[1]
