ABSTRACT
The group F streptococci belong to the Streptococcus milleri group which includes S. anginosus, S. consellatus, and S. intermedius. The S. milleri have a property which differs from classical streptococcal infections. They pro-duce suppurating lesions. They have been isolated from Bartholin’s gland abscesses, wound infections as well as brain and hepatic abscesses. Inflammatory disease such as arthritis and meningitis have been described as a consequence of hematogenous metastatic spread.
