A) Pitt bacteremia scores for cancer patients infected with particular VGS species, showing that more clinically severe disease is caused by Streptococcus mitis strains than other viridans group streptococci (VGS) species. B) Pitt bacteremia scores for only those cancer patients with neutropenia. p values refer to Mann-Whitney U comparison of Pitt bacteremia scores for patients infected with S. mitis strains versus those infected with non–S. mitis strains. infan., infantis; aust., australis; para., parasanguinis; sang., sanguinus; angi., anginosus; cons., constellatus; sali., salivarius; vest., vestibularis.
