Post-Streptococcus mitis infection polyserositis. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2021 We report a case of a 42-year-old man who presented with acute epigastric and retrosternal chest pain and exertional dyspnoea, and was subsequently diagnosed with polyserositis secondary to post-Streptococcal mitis infection. A CT scan showed a large pericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis, small bilateral pleural effusions and small amount ...

A strain of Streptococcus mitis inhibits biofilm formation of caries pathogens via abundant hydrogen peroxide production [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyCommensal oral streptococci that colonize supragingival biofilms deploy mechanisms to combat competitors within their niche. Here, we determined that Streptococcus mitis more effectively inhibited biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans compared to ...
