1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
The relationship between Streptococcus constellatus, one of the species of the "Streptococcus milleri group", and Prevotella intermedia was studied in a model of pneumonia in mice and in vitro to elucidate mechanisms of pathogenicity in "S. milleri group"-associated pulmonary infection.
