S sanguis strain-dependent platelet adhesion.
Platelet adhesion to a number of different strains of S sanguis. All strains are clinical isolates from patients with infective endocarditis, except for the laboratory strains NCTC 7863, which is the type strain, 12, 12Na, 10556, and SK96. The asterisk indicates a lag time significantly different from NCTC 7863 (Pā<ā.05).
