متن کاملLancefield grouping and smell of caramel for presumptive identification and assessment of pathogenicity in the Streptococcus milleri group.
AIM To evaluate Lancefield grouping and caramel smell for presumptive identification of the Streptococcus milleri group, and to find whether Lancefield group, species, or protein profile correlated with virulence or infection site. METHODS Prospective studies were made of 100 consecutive streptococcal isolates in blood cultures or pus from 100 patients in whom the severity of infection was ca...
متن کاملStreptococcus milleri liver abscesses associated with leiomyosarcoma of the ileum.

We describe a case of multiple abscesses in a man who turned out to have a malignant small bowel tumour, an association...
