Identification of Clinically Relevant Viridans Group Streptococci by Sequence Analysis of the 16S-23S Ribosomal DNA Spacer Region
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The feasibility of sequence analysis of the 16S-23S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacer (ITS) for the identification of clinically relevant viridans group streptococci (VS) was evaluated. The ITS regions of 29 reference strains (11 species) of VS were amplified by PCR and sequenced. These 11 species were Streptococcus anginosus, S. constellatus, S. gordonii, S. intermedius, S. mitis, S. mutans, S. oralis, S....
