A collection of 144 viridans group streptococcal strains recently characterized as part of a taxonomic study was examined for the ability to bind salivary alpha-amylase. This property was found in most strains of Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus mitis and in occasional strains of Streptococcus anginosus and Streptococcus salivarius. In contrast, all strains of Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus vestibularis, and Streptococcus mutans lacked alpha-amylase-binding capacity. A rapid and easy assay described in this paper may be an important supplementary test for identification of oral streptococci.
最近作为一项分类学研究的一部分进行特征鉴定的144株草绿色链球菌菌株被检测了结合唾液α-淀粉酶的能力。在大多数戈登链球菌和缓症链球菌菌株中以及偶尔的咽峡炎链球菌和唾液链球菌菌株中发现了这种特性。相比之下,所有 sanguis 链球菌、口腔链球菌、前庭链球菌和变形链球菌菌株都缺乏α-淀粉酶结合能力。本文描述的一种快速简便的检测方法可能是鉴定口腔链球菌的一项重要补充试验。
