Abstract
Electron microscopy revealed that Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 bound g old probes conjugated with goat IgG by non-immune mechanisms. Only a f ew of the cells and the cell wall fragments could bind IgG, in contras t to Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus group G which showed a mo re homogenous binding to nearly all cells or cell wall fragments.
