Streptococcus ruminicola is a species of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile bacteria in the genus Streptococcus within the family Streptococcaceae. It was first isolated from the rumen fluid of Hanwoo cattle in South Korea and described as a novel species in 2022.[1][2]

The name ruminicola is derived from Latin: rumen (gen. ruminis), meaning the first stomach of ruminants, and -cola, meaning dweller or inhabitant. Thus, ruminicola means "inhabitant of the rumen."[1][2]
