Prevotella buccalis is frequently found in dental plaque, and naturally lives in the mouth and vagina. P. buccalis is considered an opportunistic pathogen, which means if it gets half a chance, it’ll try to take over and can cause unpleasant symptoms.
P. buccalis is associated with bacterial vaginosis in women.
