“米勒链球菌”是一组链球菌的非官方名称，虽然基本相似，但显示出各种溶血、血清学和生理特征。种名咽峡炎链球菌最近被认为是这些生物体的批准名称。被称为“S. milleri”的链球菌被认为是多种严重化脓性感染的病原体，但由于其异质性特征，这些生物体可能未被临床实验室人员识别或错误识别。这篇综述描述了被称为“S. milleri”的生物体的细菌学方面、它们的临床意义以及在临床实验室中鉴定它们时遇到的问题。
"Streptococcus milleri" is an unofficial name that has been applied to a group of streptococci which, although basically similar, show various hemolytic, serological, and physiological characteristics. The species name Streptococcus anginosus has recently been recognized as the approved name for these organisms. Streptococci known as "S. milleri" have been implicated as etiologic agents in a variety of serious purulent infections, but because of their heterogeneous characteristics, these organisms may be unrecognized or misidentified by clinical laboratorians. This review describes the bacteriological aspects of organisms known as "S. milleri," their clinical significance, and the problems encountered with their identification in the clinical laboratory.
