Lactose-sensitive and -insensitive cell surface interactions of oral Streptococcus milleri strains and actinomyces.

RESUMO
Of 158 oral Streptococcus milleri strains, 46 exhibited cellular coaggregation with the reagent strains of the actinomyces coaggregation groups A, B, and/or E. All but 1 of the 33 serotype b, e, f/F, and k/G strains belonged to streptococcus coaggregation group 2, and only 14 strains of limited seroclasses (g, i, Lancefield group F, or untypeable) appeared to be members of group 5, 3, or 4 (10, 3, and 1 strain, respectively). Thus, S. milleri infrequently exhibits lactose-inhibitable coaggregation with actinomyces.
