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 group is named after a principal member species, Streptococcus anginosus. The older name Streptococcus milleri (as well as Streptococcus milleri group, SMG) is now pseudotaxonomic, as the idea that these streptococci constituted a single species was incorrect. The anginosus group streptococci are members of the viridans streptococci group. [1]
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.

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.

GBS urinary tract infections, more than 100.000 CFU (colony forming units) /mL, may induce labour in pregnant women and cause premature delivery (preterm birth) and miscarriage and requires antibiotic treatment. The presence of GBS in the urine in any colony count is a marker of heavy GBS colonization and an indication for Intrapartum ...
