The partial 16S rRNA sequences of 24 Streptococcus species were determined by reverse
transcription. A comparative analysis of these sequences and the sequences of seven …

The genus Streptococcus comprises many important pathogens that impact human and
animal health. Despite their widespread relevance, accurate classification and methods to …

The near full-length sequences of the groESL genes were determined and analysed among
eight reference strains (serotypes a to h) representing five species of mutans group …

It is proposed to confer species rank to the genetically distinct streptococci that have been
considered subspecies of Streptococcus mutans Clarke: S. mutans subsp. rattus …

Thirteen selected strains of 'S. milleri'were compared with the type strains of S. anginosus, S.
constellatus and S. intermedius. They contain the same peptidoglycan type (Lys-Ala 1-3) …

Nonhemolytic streptococci (NHS) cause serious infections, such as endocarditis and
septicemia. Many conventional phenotypic methods are insufficient for the identification of …

Nucleic acid hybridization studies together with a chemical cell wall analysis and
physiological data indicated that some strains designated as Streptococcus sanguis II …

Phylogenetic analysis and species identification of members of the genus Streptococcus
were carried out using partial sequence comparison of the 16S rRNA gene (1468–1478 bp) …

Two oligonucleotide primer sets for the discrimination of Streptococcus pneumoniae from
“pneumococcus-like” oral streptococcal isolates by PCR were developed. Genomic …

We have used a PCR assay based on the use of degenerate primers in order to characterize
an internal fragment (sodAint) representing approximately 85% of the genes encoding the …
