Sixty strains of viridans streptococci recovered, from various infections, encountered in a large referral Hospital in Tamil Nadu (south India) from December 1983 to May 1985 were characterised by conventional tests. Of these, 57 (95%) belonged to four species viz., Sanguis II, Mitis, Intermedius and Constellatus. Of the 40 strains that were assessed for their clinical significance, 23 (57.5%) were found to be either significant or of suggestive significance. The study suggested viridans streptococci are not particularly virulent pathogens. But local/systemic factors were found to predispose the subjects to this infection.
1983年12月至1985年5月期间,在印度南部泰米尔纳德邦的一家大型转诊医院,从各种感染病例中分离出60株草绿色链球菌,并通过传统检测方法对其进行了鉴定。其中,57株(95%)属于四个菌种,即 sanguis II、Mitis、Intermedius 和 Constellatus。在评估的40株菌株中,23株(57.5%)被发现具有显著意义或提示性意义。该研究表明,草绿色链球菌并非特别具有高致病性的病原体。但发现局部/全身因素会使个体易患这种感染。
