The Aronson Streptococcus [PDF]
The characters of the Aronson Streptococcus from Prof. Neufeld's laboratory at the “Robert Koch” Institute in Berlin have been described. This coccus resembles the pneumococcus in many respects, viz. the appearance of the colonies on the surface of horse blood agar, its virulence and capsule production in mice and rabbits, the production of a specific ...

Perinatal Streptococcus agalactiae Epidemiology and Surveillance Targets
Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B streptococcus (GBS), is a major neonatal pathogen. Recent data have elucidated the global prevalence of maternal and neonatal colonization, but gaps still remain in the epidemiology of this species.

Spatiotemporal Control Over Protein Release from Artificial Cells via a Light‐Activatable Protease
Stimulus‐responsive protein release is essential for intercellular communication. Mimicking this functionality in artificial cells is promising to study the working principles of cellular signaling. Herein, an engineered light‐activatable protease is implemented in a coacervate‐based artificial cell platform to establish user‐defined spatiotemporal ...

Investigation of the Cyprus donkey milk bacterial diversity by 16SrDNA high-throughput sequencing in a Cyprus donkey farm [PDF]
The interest in milk originating from donkeys is growing worldwide due to its claimed functional and nutritional properties, especially for sensitive population groups, such as infants with cow milk protein allergy. The current study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of donkey milk produced in a donkey farm in Cyprus using cultured-based and ...

Interplay between competitive and cooperative interactions in a three-player pathogen system [PDF]
In ecological systems heterogeneous interactions between pathogens take place simultaneously. This occurs, for instance, when two pathogens cooperate, while at the same time multiple strains of these pathogens co-circulate and compete. Notable examples include the cooperation of HIV with antibiotic-resistant and susceptible strains of tuberculosis, or ...

Mutacins of Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
The colonization and accumulation of Streptococcus mutans are influenced by various factors in the oral cavity, such as nutrition and hygiene conditions of the host, salivary components, cleaning power and salivary flow and characteristics related with microbial virulence factors.

Quorum Sensing Regulation of Competence and Bacteriocins in Streptococcus pneumoniae and mutans
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 ...

Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus ("Streptococcus milleri Group") Are of Different Clinical Importance and Are Not Equally Associated with Abscess [PDF]
Difficulties in distinguishing organisms of the "Streptococcus milleri group" (SMG; Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus, and Streptococcus anginosus), have caused ambiguity in determining their pathogenic potential. We reviewed 118 cases in which SMG isolates had been identified using 16S rDNA sequence. S.
