In the previous issue of this journal Bucher and yon Graevenitz (1) use the term
Streptococcus milleri to designate two different strains of streptococci, one possessing group …

This review traces the history of the human, nonhemolytic, or viridans, streptococci and
describes improvements in their taxonomy wrought by study of their biochemical profiles and …

A clinical microbiology report that indicates only the presence of P-haemolytic streptococci is
grossly inadequate. Accurate clinical diagnosis depends on knowledge of the specific …

A total of 965 cultures of streptococci received at a reference unit for identification were
examined with API‐20 Strep kits and also by established methods. The API method …

A battery of five tests was used for presumptive identification of the pathogenic streptococci.
The non-serological methods included determination of hemolysis for all strains, bacitracin …

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 taxonomic status and structure of Streptococcus dysgalactiae have been the object of
much confusion. Bacteria belonging to this species are usually referred to as Lancefield …
