The appendix was investigated as a possible habitat of Streptococcus milleri. Both normal and inflamed appendices were examined and the isolation rates compared. S. milleri was present in a quarter of the normal appendices and more than half of those associated with apendicitis--a difference that was statistically highly significant. The isolation rates throughout were indepencent of age. There was a pronounced connection between the presence of S. milleri in the appendix and the purulent manifestations of appendicitis. S. milleri was isolated from other abdominal sites associated with appendicitis. The frequency of isolation was increased by culture in an enrichment broth containing nalidixic acid and sulphadimidine.
对阑尾作为米勒链球菌可能的生存环境进行了调查。检查了正常阑尾和发炎阑尾，并比较了分离率。米勒链球菌存在于四分之一的正常阑尾中，而在与阑尾炎相关的阑尾中，这一比例超过一半——这一差异在统计学上具有高度显著性。总体分离率与年龄无关。阑尾中米勒链球菌的存在与阑尾炎的化脓表现之间存在明显联系。从与阑尾炎相关的其他腹部部位分离出了米勒链球菌。在含有萘啶酸和磺胺二甲嘧啶的增菌肉汤中培养可提高分离频率。
