Clinical isolates of the "Streptococcus milleri" species group were examined by conventional methods and a rapid, commercially available method for the identification of these strains to the species level. The levels of agreement between the identifications obtained with the commercially available system (Fluo-Card Milleri; KEY Scientific, Round Rock, Tex.) and conventional methods were 98% for 50 Streptococcus anginosus strains, 97% for 31 Streptococcus constellatus strains, and 88% for 17 isolates identified as Streptococcus intermedius. Patient records were also studied in order to gain information on the frequency and sites of isolation of each of the three "S. milleri" group species.
采用传统方法以及一种快速、市售的方法,对“米勒链球菌”菌群的临床分离株进行检测,以将这些菌株鉴定到种水平。使用市售系统(Fluo-Card Milleri;KEY Scientific,德克萨斯州圆石市)和传统方法所获得的鉴定结果之间的一致性水平,对于50株咽峡炎链球菌菌株为98%,对于31株星座链球菌菌株为97%,对于17株鉴定为中间链球菌的分离株为88%。还对患者记录进行了研究,以便获取有关三种“米勒链球菌”菌群菌种各自的分离频率和部位的信息。
