Streptococcus anginosus of the urogenital tract: evidence of the same strain across anatomical sites of the same females
The identification of S. anginosus group Urinae strains from all urogenital sites sampled signifies that the tropism of this group is not restricted to the urinary tract. Rather, it seems to be a common constituent of the urogenital tract. The identification of the same strain shared across urogenital sample sites from the same individual suggests that the female urogenital sites in fact have interconnected microbiota.
