Streptococcus mitis bacteriocins drive contact-dependent lysis of S. pneumoniae facilitating transformation in multispecies environments [PDF]
mBioNatural competence allows bacterial species like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis to acquire environmental DNA, driving horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and adaptation. In S.

Neonatal meningitis in a full-term neonate due to Streptococcus mitis oralis: a case report [PDF]
BMC PediatricsBackground The incidence of neonatal sepsis in the United States of America is 1–2 cases per 1,000 live births. The majority are bacterial infections due to Escherichia coli and Group B Streptococcus.

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 ...

In vitro impact of Streptococcus mitis on the inhibition of oral cancer cell proliferation via mitotic modulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyIntroductionRecent 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 ...

Low penicillin susceptibility in Streptococcus mitis/oralis from bloodstream infections in pediatric populations [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumStreptococcus mitis/oralis can cause invasive diseases, including bloodstream infections. However, existing research primarily focuses on specific populations, and limited studies have been conducted on the prevalence of bloodstream infection caused by S.

Population genomics of Streptococcus mitis in UK and Ireland bloodstream infection and infective endocarditis cases [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsStreptococcus mitis is a leading cause of infective endocarditis (IE). However, our understanding of the genomic epidemiology and pathogenicity of IE-associated S. mitis is hampered by low IE incidence. Here we use whole genome sequencing of 129 S. mitis

The genome of Streptococcus mitis B6--what is a commensal? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Streptococcus mitis is the closest relative of the major human pathogen S. pneumoniae. The 2,15 Mb sequence of the Streptococcus mitis B6 chromosome, an unusually high-level beta-lactam resistant and multiple antibiotic resistant strain, has now been ...
