Phenotypic differentiation of Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus strains within the "Streptococcus milleri group" [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
A biochemical scheme was developed by which strains of Streptococcus constellatus, Streptococcus intermedius, and Streptococcus anginosus can reliably be distinguished from within the "Streptococcus milleri group." Strains identified as S. intermedius were differentiated by the ability to produce detectable levels of alpha-glucosidase, beta ...

A Synthetic Virus-Like Particle Streptococcal Vaccine Candidate Using B-Cell Epitopes from the Proline-Rich Region of Pneumococcal Surface Protein A

Vaccines, 2015
Alternatives to the well-established capsular polysaccharide-based vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae that circumvent limitations arising from limited serotype coverage and the emergence of resistance due to capsule switching (serotype replacement)

Molecular basis of pathogenic parasitic infections: insights from parasite kinome

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020
Infectious diseases caused by numerous parasitic pathogens represent a global health conundrum. Several animal and plant pathogens are responsible for causing acute illness in humans and deadly plant infections.

Severe form of streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis of the upper limb - diagnostic and therapeutic challenge: A case report [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2015
Introduction. Since delay in recognition and effective treatment of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) caused by invasive group A streptococcus increases the mortality and disability, the early diagnosis and management of this disease are essential for ...

Tonsilities – symptoms, causes and diagnosis

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Diseases of the throat and tonsils are one of the most frequent causes of patient visits to pediatricians and family doctors. It should be emphasized that to protect the vast majority of them, symptomatic management is sufficient.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Streptococcus anginosus ("Streptococcus milleri"): the unrecognized pathogen [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1988
"Streptococcus milleri" is an unofficial name that has been applied to a group of streptococci which, although basically similar, show various hemolytic, serological, and physiological characteristics. The species name Streptococcus anginosus has recently been recognized as the approved name for these organisms. Streptococci known as "S.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Streptococcus agalactiae and genital ulcers in a heterosexual male

Iberoamerican Journal of Medicine, 2021
Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) is a microorganism that asymptomatically colonizes the female genital and gastrointestinal tracts of humans. It produces infections in extreme ages of life and in pregnant women.
