There are so many types of animals that are native to the Netherlands. The list includes animals such as bats, hares, rodents, birds, weasels and even toed ungulates like wild boar, elk and roe deer. A major contributing factor to the animal population in any given country is the habitat. The Netherlands has what is called a maritime climate.
Alpha-hemolytic streptococci. Most of these species are referred to as a group â viridans streptococci. They are also sometimes referred to as âgreen strepâ owing to the color of blood agar surrounding the colonies. Many different species comprise the viridans streptococci. Notable examples include Streptococcus mitis, S. mitior, and S. sanguis. However clinical microbiology laboratories generally do not have the ability (or the interest) to differentiate one species from the other.
Distribution and incidence of viridans streptococcal species in routine clinical specimens. Ruoff KL, Fishman JA, Calderwood SB, Kunz LJ. Five hundred consecutive isolates of viridans streptococci were identified to the species level in an effort to determine their distribution and incidence in routine clinical specimens. Viridans streptococci accounted for significant percentages of streptococcal isolates from urine, wounds, body fluids, and blood. The most commonly isolated strains belonged to the Streptococcus milleri, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus sanguis I, and Streptococcus sanguis II species.
