Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rothia dentocariosa is a member of the normal human oropharyngeal biota but has also been isolated from people with endocarditis. The other options, such as Listeria monocytogenes and Corynebacterium diphtheriae, are not typically part of the human oropharyngeal biota. Rhodococcus equi is a pathogen primarily associated with infections in immunocompromised individuals and horses, not specifically with endocarditis.
