Sixty‐six strains of R, S, and RS streptococci could be distinguished from other species of streptococci by their ability to ferment inulin and glycogen and to hydrolyze arginine, combined with resistance to optochin. Likewise, they were easily recognizable serologically. The capsular reaction test is the test of choice.
