Phenotypic differentiation of Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus strains within the "Streptococcus milleri group".
A biochemical scheme was developed by which strains of Streptococcus constellatus, Streptococcus intermedius, and Streptococcus anginosus can reliably be distinguished from within the "Streptococcus milleri group." Strains identified as S. intermedius were differentiated by the ability to produce detectable levels of alpha-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-D-fucosidase, beta-N-acetylgalacto...
متن کاملStreptococcus anginosus group - cause of endocarditis and abscesses (S. milleri)
Classification, nomenclature and identification of the Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) have been historically problematic and unreliable, mainly due to variability in bacteriological characteristics and clinical presentations. This group was first discovered in 1956 by Guthof, in reference to non-hemolytic streptococcal lassification, nomenclature and identification of the Streptococcus ang...
متن کاملGenotyping of group A streptococcus by various molecular methods.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Group A streptococcus (GAS) causes a wide variety of life threatening diseases in developing countries like India. Characterization of GAS is therefore necessary for prevention and control of the disease. Genotypic analysis of GAS is largely lacking from India, therefore an attempt was made to study the genotype distribution of north Indian GAS isolates. METHODS Sixty c...
متن کاملThoracic infection caused by Streptococcus milleri.
The objective of this study was to increase our understanding of the importance of members of the Streptococcus milleri (SM) group as respiratory pathogens, by studying the epidemiological and clinical features of thoracic infections caused by this group and comparing the epidemiology and prognosis of empyema caused by SM with cases of pneumococcal aetiology. The clinical histories and microbio...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibilities of genetically characterized Streptococcus milleri group strains.
Previous studies of the antibiotic susceptibility of Streptococcus milleri group organisms have distinguished among species by using phenotypic techniques. Using 44 isolates that were speciated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we studied the MICs and minimum bactericidal concentrations of penicillin, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and clindamycin for Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus,...
