Prevotella albensis, previously known as Bacteroides ruminicola subsp.

ruminicola, is a species of bacterium.

[1] Prevotella species are part of the human oral and vaginal flora.

They play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease,[2] gingivitis, extraoral and some odontogenic infections,[3] and strains are usually carried in families, in so-called intrafamilial carriage.
