Abstract
The performance of the Automicrobic System with the Vitek gram-positiv e identification card (bioMerieux, France) in identifying strains of S treptococcus mutans was studied, Of 160 strains assayed, 72.5 % were c onfirmed to be Streptococcus mutans; the remainder were identified as other species of streptococci (Streptococcus bovis, Streptococcus uber is, Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus sanguis I and II, Streptoco ccus intermedius, and Streptococcus constellatus).
