The phylogenetic position of Streptococcus cecorum was determined by reverse transcriptase sequencing of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid. Streptococcus cecorum formed a distinct group with Enterococcus faecalis (type species of the genus Enterococcus) and other enterococcal species, but was unrelated to members of the genus Streptococcus. On the basis of the present findings, it is proposed that Streptococcus cecorum be reclassified in the genus Enterococcus, as Enterococcus cecorum comb. nov.
