Abstract excerpt
Since the late 1980s, new and existing species of oral streptococci have been identified by complex and protracted DNA-based methods that are unsuitable for high-throughput testing in clinical laboratories. Developments of simpler DNA-based tests for routine diagnosis have been thwarted by the similarities of their genomes and their high recombination rates. Thus, phenotypic tests to differentiate oral...
