Taxonomy
Family: Veillonellaceae

Natural habitats
Is widely distributed in the oral, genitourinary, respiratory, and intestinal biotas of humans and animals.

Clinical significance
Veionella species strains are frequently isolated from clinical specimens in aerobic-anaerobic polymicrobial cultures.
Rarely, Veillonella species have been the only etiologic agents identified in serious infections such as meningitis, osteomyelitis, prosthetic joint infection, pleuropulmonary infection, endocarditis, and bacteremia.

The prevalence of these organisms as pathogens is clearly increasing.
