Mitis group streptococci are pioneer colonizers of tooth surfaces and are implicated in
various pathologies. Thus, accurate identification of oral mitis group strains would be …

The usefulness and reliability of partial sequence analysis of the manganese-dependent
superoxide dismutase gene (sodA), autolysin (lytA) gene amplification and species-specific …

The taxonomic position of tufted strains of streptococci, phenotypically resembling
Streptococcus mitis and previously referred to as 'tufted mitior'was investigated. By 16S …

The aim of our study was to investigate phenotypic and genotypic features of streptococci
misidentified (misID) as Streptococcus pneumoniae, obtained over 20 years from hospital …

“Mitis group” streptococci are commensal but may play some role in dental caries,
septicemia or endocarditis. Rapid genotypic identification would aid studies of dental plaque …

A collection of 180 clinical isolates of Streptococcus milleri group were identified to species
level using two phenotypic methods (a commercial system and the reference method based …

One hundred reference strains representing all species belonging to the different
phylogenetic lineages of the viridans streptococci were examined by means of one …

Mutans group streptococci play an important role in the formation of dental caries, while mitis
group streptococci are considered to be associated with subacute bacterial endocarditis …

A collection of 399" Streptococcus milleri" strains were identified to the species level by the
use of a line blot assay. Their PCR-amplified partial 16S rRNA gene sequences were …

Streptococcus intermedius belongs to the anginosus group of streptococci (AGS) and is
associated with endogenous infections leading to abscesses in the oral cavity and at deep …
