Rothia aerolata is a species of Gram-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria in the genus Rothia. It was first isolated from exhaust air in a pig barn in Germany and formally described as a new species in 2016.[1]
The species name aerolata is derived from the Greek noun aer (air) and the Latin participle lata (carried), together meaning "airborne," referencing the bacterium’s isolation from air samples.[1]
