RESUMO

Carotid injection of Streptococcus mutans in pigtail monkeys caused fundus lesions clinically resembling those seen in humans with bacteremia. On histopathological examination microabscesses occurred in the retina, choroid, and optic nerve. Bacteria were observed in the histopathological sections of the microabscesses, and S. mutans was cultured from the retina and choroid.
