The facultative human oral pathogen Prevotella histicola in equine cheek tooth apical/ periapical infection: a case report.

This study provides the first documented case of dental infection in a horse caused by P. histicola at once indicating necessity of more sufficient microbiological diagnostics and targeted antibiotic treatment in equine dental practice. This finding is also conducive to understand species-specific Prevotella diversity and cross-species distribution.
