Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was used to detect and quantify C-polysaccharide-like antigen in strains of alpha-hemolytic s treptococci classified into species by following the latest taxonomic recommendations. C-polysaccharide-like antigen is found only in Strept ococcus oralis, S. mitis, and S. pneumoniae, which are genetically clo sely related.
