Quorum Sensing Regulation of Competence and Bacteriocins in Streptococcus pneumoniae and mutans
Genes, 2017 The human pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mutans have both evolved complex quorum sensing (QS) systems that regulate the production of bacteriocins and the entry into the competent state, a requirement for natural transformation ...

Stillbirth With Group B Streptococcus Disease Worldwide: Systematic Review and Meta-analyses
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017 Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is associated with invasive disease in utero and stillbirth. We estimated that 1% of all stillbirths in developed countries and 4% in Africa were associated with GBS.

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016 The Mitis group of the genus Streptococcus currently comprises 20 species with validly published names, including the pathogen S. pneumoniae. They have been the subject of much taxonomic confusion, due to phenotypic overlap and genetic heterogeneity ...

Nonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae: Emergence and Pathogenesis
mBio, 2016 While significant protection from pneumococcal disease has been achieved by the use of polysaccharide and polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines, capsule-independent protection has been limited by serotype replacement along with disease caused by ...

Current Taxonomical Situation of Streptococcus suis
Pathogens, 2016 Streptococcus suis, a major porcine pathogen and an important zoonotic agent, is considered to be composed of phenotypically and genetically diverse strains. However, recent studies reported several “S. suis-like strains” that were identified as S.

Streptococcus pyogenes adhesion and colonization
FEBS Letters, 2016 Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human‐adapted pathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of disease. GAS can cause relatively mild illnesses, such as strep throat or impetigo, and less frequent but severe life‐threatening diseases ...
