Identification of viridans streptococci isolated from clinical specimens.
Of 532 strains of viridans streptococci isolated from clinical specimens, 517 were identified by using a scheme based on the work of Facklam (R. R. Facklam, J. Clin. Microbiol. 5:184-201, 1977). The strains were distributed among nine of the species described by Facklam and an additional group of physiologically homogeneous streptococci not recognized in Facklam's scheme. The method for identif...
متن کاملClinical significance of viridans streptococci isolated from blood cultures.
The clinical significance of viridans streptococci isolated from the blood cultures of 86 patients was determined. Isolates that were significant or suggestive of infection represented only 21% of the cases. Among 54 isolates for which the species was known, Streptococcus sanguis II was the most common. However, a significant association between species and clinical significance was not found.
متن کاملIdentity of viridans streptococci isolated from cases of infective endocarditis.
The oral streptococci have undergone considerable taxonomic revision in recent years but there is still little information concerning associations between the newly defined species and disease. This study examined the identities of 47 strains of oral streptococci collected from 42 confirmed cases of infective endocarditis. By means of recently described physiological schemes, the most common sp...
متن کاملClassification and identification of the viridans streptococci.
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 analysis of their nucleic acids. The goal was to define species on the basis of genetic relationships and to describe these species by their phenotypic characteristics so that they can be easily identified. This meth...
متن کاملPreliminary identification of mycobacteria isolated from clinical specimens.
From March 1979 to June 1980, we preliminary identified mycobacteria at the time of their initial isolation by colonial morphology, pigmentation, and growth rate. The definitive identifications were predicted accurately for 92% of the mycobacteria isolated from 108 patients. For laboratories that isolate relatively few different species of mycobacteria, the advantages of this approach are its s...
