Abstract

Forty-four strains of non-haemolytic streptococci, from a variety of sites, that required CO2 for aerobic growth were identified as Streptococcus milleri. Of these strains, 40 (90%) possessed the Lancefield group-F antigen, the remainder being non-groupable with antisera to the group antigens A, C, F and G.
