Taxonomy
Leptotrichia buccalis
Description and Significance:
Leptotrichia buccalis is gram negative, non-motile,bacillus.L.buccalis may well have been one of the first bacteria described and drawn by Antonj van Leeuwenhoek. The first of what is now six species identified as of 2010 within the genus Leptotrichia in human dental plaque. The six species have been further identified as having at least 60 strains, 26 of which are classified as strains of L.buccalis (6)
