Prevotella intermedia (Holdeman and Moore 1970) Shah and Collins 1990 |
Prevotella intermedia (formerly Bacteroides intermedius) is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic pathogenic bacterium involved in periodontal infections, including gingivitis and periodontitis, and often found in acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. It is commonly isolated from dental abscesses, where obligate anaerobes predominate.
Prevotella intermedia is thought to be more prevalent in patients with noma. [1]
Prevotella intermedia use steroid hormones as growth factors, so their numbers are higher in pregnant women.[citation needed] It has also been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis.[2]
