Streptococcus species

Streptococcus species refers to a group of related bacteria that can live in several areas of the body, including the mouth, throat, skin, mucous membranes, and gastrointestinal tract. Some Streptococcus species can be part of the normal microbial environment, while others may become more noticeable when bacterial balance changes. In a gut profile, Streptococcus species levels may reflect a connection between the intestinal tract and bacteria commonly linked to the mouth and mucosal surfaces. Changes in this group may be seen together with altered stool quality, digestive irritation, gas, mucus in stool, or changes in the broader microbial balance. Streptococcus species levels can help show whether this broad bacterial group is becoming more prominent in the dog’s gut microbiome pattern.
