Abiotrophia is a genus of lactic acid bacteria, a family in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).
The genus contains 4 species of coccus shaped species,[2] 2 are former members of the genus Streptococcus, which were transferred in 1995 to the newly coined genus Abiotrophia:[1]
Other 2 are latter additions:
In 2000, Collins and Lawsons further differentiated A. adiacens, A. balaenopterae and A. elegans from A. defectiva by placing them into the new genus Granulicatella.[7]
The name Abiotrophia derives from: Greek prefix ἄ (a)-, negative (un-); Greek noun βιος (bios), life; Greek noun τροφιά (trophia), nutrition; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Abiotrophia, life-nutrition-deficiency.[2]
For the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), the genome of Abiotrophia defectiva ATCC 49176 has been sequenced (assembly) as it is a resident of human oral cavity and urogenital and intestinal tracts and is a cause of infective endocarditis, showing it to have 3291 protein encoded in a 3.4774 Mbp genome with a GC content of 37.0% [8]
Formerly classified as nutritionally variant streptococci, A. elegans had been identified as a cause of 1 to 2% of blood culture negative bacterial endocarditis.[9]

Abiotrophia (les abiotrophes en français) est un genre de bactéries aérocoquacées, proches à la famille des streptococcaceae, dits déficients car ils diffèrent les uns des autres par de rares caractères biologiques. Microscopiquement ces espèces se présentent comme des cocci gram positifs.

Abiotrophia ialah genus bakteria asid laktik, sebuah keluarga dalam filum Firmicutes (Bakteria).
Dahulunya dikelaskan sebagai varian streptokokus pemakanan, A. elegans telah dikenalpasti sebagai penyebab 1 hingga 2% endokarditis bakteria negatif kultur darah.[2]
