Alpha-hemolytic streptococci are very difficult to identify by phenotypic methods. In this
study, a pyrosequencing method for the identification of streptococcal species based on two …

Relationships among selected species of viridans streptococci were studied by using
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA hybridization and biochemical and serological tests. The …

16S rRNA of Streptococcus agalactiae, S. uberis, and S. parauberis was bound to
streptavidin-coated magnetic beads by using a biotinylated oligonucleotide probe …

The genus Streptococcus currently comprises> 100 recognized species, and this number
can certainly be expected to rise with the increasing availability of next‐generation …

The aim of this study was to establish an identification method for the anginosus group
within the genus Streptococcus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using a primer pair …

Streptococcus oralis, a commensal species of the human oral cavity, belongs to the Mitis
group of streptococci, which includes one of the major human pathogens as well, S …

The need for a microbial identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae independent of culture
methods has resulted in the introduction of other laboratory principles. The verification of a …

Twenty-five strains resembling 'Streptococcus milleri'were compared by DNA-DNA
hybridization, by whole-cell-derived polypeptide patterns on SDS-PAGE, and by …

We recently described the novel species Streptococcus tigurinus sp. nov. belonging to the
Streptococcus mitis group. The type strain AZ_3aT of S. tigurinus was originally isolated from …

Streptococci of serological groups N and D were found to belong to three different 23S
ribosomal RNA (rRNA) homology clusters which are not closely related to each other. One …
