Streptococcus anginosus is a species of Streptococcus. [1] This species, Streptococcus intermedius , and Streptococcus constellatus constitute the anginosus group , which is sometimes also referred to as the milleri group after the previously assumed but later refuted idea of a single species Streptococcus milleri .
The anginosus group streptococci are members of the viridans streptococci group. [1] They 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.

Streptococcus anginosus group Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae , within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota . [ 2 ]
Streptococcus anginosus in the gut was independently associated with 20% higher odds of stroke after controlling for vascular risk factors. Anaerostipes hadrus—a gut bacteria associated with ...
Streptococcus intermedius is an aerotolerant anaerobic commensal bacterium and a member of the Streptococcus anginosus group. The S. anginosus group, occasionally termed “ Streptococcus milleri group” (SMG) display hemolytic and serologic diversity, yet share core physiological traits.
In fact, the amount of streptococcus anginosus in the saliva and the gut was associated with both a higher risk of stroke and worse outcomes, including death and other major cardiovascular events ...
Based on DNA homology and whole-cell polypeptide-pattern study findings supported by phenotypic characteristics, the DNA homology group of microaerobic streptococci that was formerly known as Streptococcus anginosus or Streptococcus milleri is now composed of three distinct species: S. anginosus, S. constellatus, and S. intermedius.
Streptococcus anginosus: General distribution Streptococcus mutans: Teeth: dental plaque Streptococcus oralis: Teeth: dental plaque Streptococcus pneumoniae: Nasopharynx Streptococcus sobrinus: Teeth: dental plaque Streptococcus viridans: Mouth, large intestine, small intestine (Ileon) Torulopsis glabrata: Mouth Treponema denticola: Mouth ...
