Namehuman oral cavity
TypePHENOTYPIC
DescriptionThis property is assigned as YES for both pathogens and commensals of the human mouth. These bacteria, as a rule, are part of complex communities. It may be hard to tell whether a particular species is a pathogen itself, or helps a pathogen to thrive, or is harmless. This property, therefore, simply addresses adaptation to the human oral cavity and not the consequences of establishment there.
