rothia bacteria in lungs?

chronic cough x 6 months. been on steroids, antibiotics, inhalers, finally had a bronchospy and it showed rothia bacteria. isn't that from mouth? could these test results be from a relocation during bronchoscopy? doesn't it usually occur as a heart valve related harmful bacteria? i am skeptical. prescribed more antibiotics and steriods.
