Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Streptococcus bovis/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The species Streptococcus bovis is no longer officially recognized, as it has been renamed Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies gallolyticus (Schlegel et al, 2003). However, the name S. bovis is still widely used in practice, and will most likely remain as the most important search string for this page.

Reappraisal of the taxonomy of the Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex and related species: description of Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus subsp. nov., S. gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus subsp. nov. and S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus subsp. nov.

Assessment comment

Subclinical rumen acidosis is also commonly referred to as "grain overload". The low pH environment from consumption of a surplus of rapidly fermentable carbohydrate sources (i.e., grain) promotes development of S. bovis. Diets high in carbohydrates are called high concentrate diets. Wheat, barley, and corn are the most rapidly fermentable carbohydrate sources in the rumen. S. bovis is an amylolytic bacteria that ferments the grain. Lactic acid is produced as a by-product, leading to lactic acidosis, systemic dehydration, decreased heart rate, a distended rumen, decreased rumen motility, and diarrhea.
