Abstract
Treatment of 10 strains representing 5 species of related oral streptococci with penicillin G resulted in measurable levels of cellular lysis. This lysis was dependent on penicillin concentration and cell density. At similar penicillin concentrations and cell densities, the 10 strains demonstrated appreciable differences in their lytic responses. Lysis values for Streptococcus mutans (GS‐5 and Ingbritt) and Streptococcus rattus (BHT and FA‐1) were greater than those for Streptococcus sobrinus (01 and B13), Streptococcus cricetus (HS6 and AHT), and Streptococcus ferus(8S1 and HD3).
