Abstract
groups remain constantly susceptible to beta-lams, resistance in oral streptococci exceeds 30% and screening techniques are not fully reliable. Therefore, accurate species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing by MICs determination appears essential for the treatment of NBHS invasive infections, together with continued epidemiological surveillance.
