“…Streptococcus anginosus has the unique characteristic of producing abscesses, which distinguishes it from other bacteria in the Streptococcus Viridians subgroups [3]. Common sites of abscess formation are brain, lung, liver and spleen.…”

“…Streptococcus anginosus is a subgroup of streptococcus viridians, which commonly exists in normal oral and gastrointestinal flora. Streptococcus anginosus differs from other bacterial subgroups as Streptococcus anginosus may cause abscess formation [3]. A review of the literature presents few case reports regarding Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia and its association with liver abscess [4,5].…”

“…Most P-haemolytic strains and 40% of the non-B-haemolytic strains belonged to API I; API I1 and I11 strains were non-phaemolytic and non-haemolytic, respectively.

Summary. Ninety-one Streptococcus milleri strains isolated from various systemic purulent lesions of 68 patients were examined by physiological and serological tests. Most strains formed a smooth colony (66 strains), did not form spontaneous aggregation of cells in BHI broth culture (79), were non-P-haemolytic (a-35 or non-41), and belonged to biotype Ia (49) or Ib (34) and to API taxa S . milleri I (41) or I1 (38). Almost all of the P-haemolytic strains as well as two-fifths of the non-P-haemolytic belonged to API taxon I; strains of API taxa I1 and I11 were non-P-haemolytic and non-haemolytic, respectively. Two-fifths (38) of the isolates belonged to one of eight serotypes, a-g and k, and more than half (47) to Lancefield groups A, C, F or G, the most frequent being type b (19) and group F (33). Fifteen strains carried simultaneously type algroup A, b/C, c/C, e/G,flF or k/G antigens. Nineteen were neither typable nor groupable. All the 38 serotypable isolates were non-P-haemolytic and not members of API taxon 111, and were serologically and physiologically similar to oral S . milleri. The isolates from various infected sites-sputum, thorax, abdomen, urogenitalia, skin, eye and dental-exhibited distinct combinations of biological and serological properties. These results suggest that serotyping, haemolytic properties and API taxon, and their combinations, would be useful methods to trace oral S. milleri in systemic infections.
