Species of bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parvimonas micra is a Gram positive anaerobic coccus which is frequently isolated from dental plaque in patients with chronic periodontitis.[1] It is a common constituent of mixed anaerobic infections such as intra-abdominal abscess.[2] It has rarely been implicated as a sole pathogen in septic arthritis, osteomyelitis and discitis associated with recent dental procedures.[3][4]
