Isolation and Characterization of “Streptococcus milleri” Group Strains from Oral and Maxillofacial Infections

  • Chapter
Streptococci and the Host

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 418))

Abstract

The etiopathogenesis of oral and maxillofacial (OMF) infections is complex1, 3, 4. The Streptococcus milleri Group (SMG) contains three species: S. anginosus, S. constellatus and S. intermedius which are members of the normal oral flora5. However, the SMG is also involved in the production of pyogenic infections6.
