Dear Dr. Schouten; we might have found N. macacae in an oral sample from a Sudanese study participant. But it has only been identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and the 16S sequences of N. macacae,  N. mucosa and N. sicca seem very related. The test person was healthy, so the only conclusion you might draw from this is, that N. macacae might have been part of his oral microbial flora.

Kind regards,

A. Anderson
