Streptococcus faecal i s Andrews and Horder 



Insects concerned: The German roach, Blattella germanica ; 

 and the web -worm, Hyhantria cunea, the milkweed bug, 

 Oncopeltus fasciatus ; the bagworm, Thyridopteryx ephemerae - 

 f ormis ; the cicada, Tibicen linnei . 



This streptococcus was isolated by Steinhaus (19^-1) 

 from the alimentary tracts of the German roach, web -worm, 

 and the milkweed bug. In this last insect the strain was 

 somewhat atypical. See Bergey's Manual, 5th ed. , p. 337 , 

 for a complete description. (See also the work of Duncan, 

 1926. )

STREPTOCOCCUS LI QUEFAC 1 ENS (Sternberg) Orla-Jensen 

 (See Streptococcus apis . ) 



Insect concerned: The honey bee, Apis me 11 if era . 



Bergey's Manual (1939; 5th ed. , page 339) lists 

 Streptococcus apis as a synonym for Streptococcus lique - 

 faciens. Hucker (1932) found these two gelatinliquefying 

 streptococci to be culturally almost identical. 



Streptococcus apis has been associated with European 

 foulbrood of bees.
