The ingestion of S. milleri and strictly anaerobic gram-positive cocci was significantly greater (p<0.001) than that of strains of Prevotella spp. and F. nucleatum. The degree of uptake of capsulate and non-capsulate strains did not differ., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-38-2-151
