Streptococcus milleri is a known commensal of the female genitourinary tract, but its pathogenicity in neonates has been reported in only a few cases. During a period of one year in an obstetrical unit, Streptococcus milleri was isolated from nine neonates and from one foetus after a spontaneous abortion. In seven of the nine newborns, neonatal infection was assessed and Streptococcus milleri was the lone pathogen involved, associated with positive blood or vaginal cultures in four mothers. Because Streptococcus milleri requires special conditions for identification, it is probably underestimated as a cause of neonatal infection and septic abortion.
米勒链球菌是女性泌尿生殖道中一种已知的共生菌，但其在新生儿中的致病性仅在少数病例中有报道。在某产科病房的一年时间里，从9名新生儿和1例自然流产后的胎儿中分离出了米勒链球菌。在9名新生儿中的7名中，评估了新生儿感染情况，米勒链球菌是唯一涉及的病原体，4名母亲的血液或阴道培养结果呈阳性。由于米勒链球菌的鉴定需要特殊条件，它作为新生儿感染和感染性流产的病因可能被低估了。
