title: [Stomatococcus mucilaginosus: cultural and biochemical properties of 100 strains isolated from the ORL area].
abstract: A study of the growth characteristics and 80 biochemical tests using API System micromethods (API-50CH, API-20E, API-Zym) was carried out on 100 strains of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus isolated from the human oral cavity. Seventy-seven other enzymatic tests from the API system (AP-arylamidases, osidases and esterases) were also performed on 10 of these strains. The results of these tests were compared to those of 24 type strains of Micrococcaceae and Aerococcus viridans. A simple identification scheme for S. mucilaginosus is proposed.
