Streptococcus anginosus ("Streptococcus milleri"): the unrecognized pathogen.
"Streptococcus milleri" is an unofficial name that has been applied to a group of streptococci which, although basically similar, show various hemolytic, serological, and physiological characteristics. The species name Streptococcus anginosus has recently been recognized as the approved name for these organisms. Streptococci known as "S. milleri" have been implicated as etiologic agents in a va...
متن کاملStreptococcus milleri in the appendix.
The appendix was investigated as a possible habitat of Streptococcus milleri. Both normal and inflamed appendices were examined and the isolation rates compared. S. milleri was present in a quarter of the normal appendices and more than half of those associated with apendicitis--a difference that was statistically highly significant. The isolation rates throughout were indepencent of age. There...
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 کاملHydrolytic enzymes of Moraxella bovis.
Certain strains of Moraxella bovis produce tissue-damaging enzymes which may initiate or potentiate infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis. Thirteen reference strains of this species were characterized physiologically and screened for production of various enzymes by some conventional biochemical tests and the API ZYM system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). All 13 strains were hemolytic. A...
متن کاملBrain abscess due to Streptococcus MG-intermedius (Streptococcus milleri).
Three cases of brain abscesses due to Streptococcus MG-intermedius are reported, and the literature pertaining to this subject is reviewed. The importance of careful and complete identification of these etiological agents of infection is stressed. The clinical presentation, the origin of S. MG-intermedius producing brain abscess, and its relation to hepatic abscesses and endocarditis are discus...
