Based on the genetic analysis of 20 reference strains, we describe an approach using the sequencing of 2 housekeeping genes, zwf and gki, to identify members of the mitis-sanguinis group of viridans streptococci to the species level, with a better discrimination compared with 16S rDNA sequencing. This approach also suggested that some reference strains may not be correctly classified.
基于对20株参考菌株的基因分析,我们描述了一种方法,即通过对两个管家基因zwf和gki进行测序,将草绿色链球菌的缓症- sanguinis组成员鉴定到种水平,与16S rDNA测序相比,具有更好的鉴别能力。该方法还表明一些参考菌株可能分类不正确。
