A preliminarily Investigation on Oral Colonization and Counts of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus mitis in a Group of Predentate Infants in Relation to Some Maternal and Infant Factors (A Longitudinal Observational study). [PDF]

Int J Clin Pediatr Dent, 2023
Aim Bacterial colonization of infants’ oral cavities is a key factor for future caries risk. This study sought to longitudinally assess oral bacterial colonization in a group of predentate infants in relation to some mother and infant factors.

A Case of Recurrent Erysipelas Caused by Streptococcus mitis Group [PDF]

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
The aetiology of erysipelas remains poorly defined though beta-haemolytic streptococci are considered as the main causative pathogens. We describe a case of a 70-year-old woman with recurrent erysipelas in her left arm due to infection with streptococci ...

Streptococcus mitis Expressing Pneumococcal Serotype 1 Capsule [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
Streptococcus pneumoniae’s polysaccharide capsule is an important virulence factor; vaccine-induced immunity to specific capsular polysaccharide effectively prevents disease. Serotype 1 S.

Vaccination With the Commensal Streptococcus mitis Expressing Pneumococcal Serotype 5 Capsule Elicits IgG/IgA and Th17 Responses Against Streptococcus pneumoniae

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Recent studies have identified a clinical isolate of the commensal Streptococcus mitis that expresses Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 5 capsule (S. mitis serotype 5) and shows serospecificity toward pneumococcal serotype 5.

DNA isolation methods for Nanopore sequencing of the Streptococcus mitis genome. [PDF]

Microb Genom, 2022
Streptococcus mitis is a Gram-positive bacterium, member of the oral commensal microbiota, which can occasionally be the etiologic agent of diseases such as infective endocarditis, bacteraemia and septicaemia.

A strain of Streptococcus mitis inhibits biofilm formation of caries pathogens via abundant hydrogen peroxide production [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Commensal 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 ...

In vitro impact of Streptococcus mitis on the inhibition of oral cancer cell proliferation via mitotic modulation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionRecent studies have elucidated a potential correlation between oral carcinogenesis and the oral microbiome. However, few reports exist on the interaction between Streptococcus spp., the most common oral microflora bacterium, and oral cancer ...

Streptococcus infantis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus oralis Strains With Highly Similar cps5 Loci and Antigenic Relatedness to Serotype 5 Pneumococci [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a highly impactful bacterial pathogen on a global scale. The principal pneumococcal virulence factor and target of effective vaccines is its polysaccharide capsule, of which there are many structurally distinct forms. Here, we
