Rothia is a Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Micrococcaceae.[1][3][4][5] Rothia bacteria can cause disease in humans and immunosuppressed humans.[6][7]

Rothia genus is prevalent in our saliva and it produces enterobactin. This is a strong iron-binding siderophore, which is produced by E. coli. Rothia is also prevalent in our gut and causes the emergence of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.[8][9]
