Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae [PDF]
Revista chilena de infectología, 2010 Nueva especie bacteriana, descrita por primera vez el año 2004 por Arbique y cols. Estudios de homología de ADN-ADN sugieren que corresponde a una especie distinta de Streptococcus pneumoniae y Streptococcus mitis. Esta nueva especie muestra una similitud cercana a 50% con S. pneumoniae.

Streptococcus pneumoniae Capsular Polysaccharide
Microbiology spectrum, 2019 The polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the dominant surface structure of the organism and plays a critical role in virulence, principally by interfering with host opsonophagocytic clearance mechanisms.

Streptococcus pneumoniae: Invasion and Inflammation
Microbiology spectrum, 2019 Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumoccus) is the leading cause of otitis media, community-acquired pneumonia, and bacterial meningitis. The success of the pneumococcus stems from its ability to persist in the population as a commensal and avoid killing ...

Streptococcus sanguinis biofilm formation & interaction with oral pathogens
Future Microbiology, 2018 Caries and periodontitis are the two most common human dental diseases and are caused by dysbiosis of oral flora. Although commensal microorganisms have been demonstrated to protect against pathogens and promote oral health, most previous studies have ...

A distinct sortase SrtB anchors and processes a streptococcal adhesin AbpA with a novel structural property. [PDF]
, 2016 Surface display of proteins by sortases in Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for bacterial fitness and virulence. We found a unique gene locus encoding an amylase-binding adhesin AbpA and a sortase B in oral streptococci.

CRISPR-Cas in Streptococcus pyogenes
RNA Biology, 2019 The discovery and characterization of the prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas immune system has led to a revolution in genome editing and engineering technologies. Despite the fact that most applications emerged after the discovery of the type II-A CRISPR-Cas9 system
