2017-09-08 (TC) This species was suggested to merge with
Streptococcus oralis subsp. dentisani (HOT398) based on the published genomic study by Jensen et. al. (2016).
http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001433. However since the 16S rRNA sequences AY005042, AY005043, AY005044, AY278632 that represent HOT058 form a distinct clade significantly away from that of HOT398 on the 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree, these sequences may represent a distinct strain for the species. We retained this HOT but changed the name to "Streptococcus oralis subsp. dentisani clade 058" so that future sequencing study can distinguish these sequences from others of this species.
