Carotid injection of Streptococcus mutans in pigtail monkeys caused fundus lesions clinically resembling those seen in humans with bacteremia. On histopathological examination microabscesses occurred in the retina, choroid, and optic nerve. Bacteria were observed in the histopathological sections of the microabscesses, and S. mutans was cultured from the retina and choroid.

在卷尾猴的颈动脉注射变形链球菌会导致眼底病变，临床上类似于人类菌血症所见。组织病理学检查发现视网膜、脉络膜和视神经出现微脓肿。在微脓肿的组织病理学切片中观察到细菌，并且从视网膜和脉络膜中培养出了变形链球菌。
