Streptococci identified as Streptococcus bovis, S. bovis variant, and Streptococcus salivarius were examined with respect to physiological and serological characteristics and cellular fatty acid content. Similarities in physiological reactions and problems encountered in serological analysis were noted, suggesting that an expanded battery of physiological tests is needed to definitively identify these streptococci. Cellular fatty acid analysis provided an accurate method for distinguishing S. salivarius from S. bovis and S. bovis variant.
对鉴定为牛链球菌、牛链球菌变种和唾液链球菌的链球菌进行了生理、血清学特征及细胞脂肪酸含量方面的检测。注意到生理反应的相似性以及血清学分析中遇到的问题,这表明需要增加一系列生理测试来明确鉴定这些链球菌。细胞脂肪酸分析提供了一种区分唾液链球菌与牛链球菌及牛链球菌变种的准确方法。
