Reevaluation of <i>Streptococcus bovis</i> Endocarditis Cases from 1975 to 1985 by 16S Ribosomal DNA Sequence Analysis
27 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Studies that detected an association between Streptococcus bovis endocarditis and colon carcinoma have not taken into account the recently identified genetic diversity among organisms historically classified as S. bovis. With near full-length 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis, organisms cultured from the blood of endocarditis patients at the Mayo Clinic from 1975 to 1985 and previously identified as S. bovis or...
