A collection of 518 "Streptococcus milleri" isolates recovered from clinical specimens was identified to the species level according to recently established criteria. Streptococcus anginosus was the most frequently isolated species (59.3%), followed by S constellatus (30.3%) and S intermedius (10.4%). One third (34%) of all isolates were beta-hemolytic. The majority of S anginosus isolates were nonhemolytic, carried Lancefield group F, or were nongroupable. Most of the S constellatus isolates were beta-hemolytic, as well as 16.6% of S intermedius strains. Streptococcus anginosus was recovered more often from the genital and urinary tracts and S constellatus was recovered from the thorax. Streptococcus intermedius was mostly found in the head and neck area, but was also isolated from the abdomen and the skin, bone, and soft tissue. Streptococcus intermedius and nonhemolytic isolates were recovered most often from abscess-related specimens.
根据最近制定的标准，对从临床标本中分离出的518株“米勒链球菌”进行了种水平鉴定。咽峡炎链球菌是最常分离出的菌种（59.3%），其次是星座链球菌（30.3%）和中间链球菌（10.4%）。所有分离株中有三分之一（34%）为β溶血性。大多数咽峡炎链球菌分离株不溶血、携带F群兰斯菲尔德抗原或无法分型。大多数星座链球菌分离株为β溶血性，中间链球菌菌株中有16.6%也是如此。咽峡炎链球菌更多地从生殖道和泌尿道中分离出来，星座链球菌则从胸部分离出来。中间链球菌大多发现于头颈部区域，但也从腹部以及皮肤、骨骼和软组织中分离出来。中间链球菌和不溶血分离株最常从与脓肿相关的标本中分离出来。
