A rapid method for differentiating Saccharomyces sensu stricto strains from other yeast species in an enological environment.

abstract：:Members of the Streptococcus bovis group are frequent colonizers of the intestinal tract, which can also cause endocarditis. However, their ability to adhere to and colonize host tissues and the factors associated with pathogenicity are largely unknown. Here, we assessed 17 endocarditis-derived human isolates [identif...
