Finegoldia magna
(HMT-662)
Taxon Description:
Finegoldia magna is not believed to be a resident of the human oral cavity. There have been no reports of its isolation verified by molecular sequence analysis.
Disease Associations:
It is thought to be part of the female urogenital microbiota and is one of the commonest clinical anaerobic isolates from wounds and abscesses primarily associated with the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. Is unusual among anaerobes in that it can cause infections which may be serious alone in pure culture [1].
Prevalence and Source:
Not thought to be part of the oral microbiota but has been isolated from extra-oral soft tissue infections of the head and neck.
