etreptococos del grupo viridans
Scope note: Gran grupo heterogéneo formado principalmente por estreptococos alfa-hemolíticos. Colonizan el aparato respiratorio al nacer y en general tienenbaja patogenicidads. Este grupo de especies incluye STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS, STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS, STREPTOCOCCUS ORALIS, STREPTOCOCCUS SANGUIS, STREPTOCOCCUS SOBRINUS y el GRUPO DE STREPTOCOCCUS MILLERI. Estos últimos son con frecuencia beta-hemolíticos y producen comúnmente infecciones piógenas invasivas, como abscesos encefálicos y abdominales.

Scope note: A large heterogeneous group of mostly alpha-hemolytic streptococci. They colonize the respiratory tract at birth and generally have a low degree of pathogenicity. This group of species includes STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS; STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS; STREPTOCOCCUS ORALIS; STREPTOCOCCUS SANGUIS; STREPTOCOCCUS SOBRINUS; and the STREPTOCOCCUS MILLERI GROUP. The latter are often beta-hemolytic and commonly produce invasive pyogenic infections including brain and abdominal abscesses.
