Species-level molecular identification of invasive "Streptococcus milleri" group clinical isolates by nucleic acid sequencing in a centralized regional microbiology laboratory.
Organisms belonging to the "Streptococcus milleri" group are important invasive human pathogens. A detailed understanding of their pathogenesis in human infection has only recently been facilitated by the use of molecular methods to study this group of organisms.
