The production of beta-glucuronidase and hyaluronidase by streptococcus mitis

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1954
Abstract 1. 1. Microorganisms, isolated from human saliva, carious dentine, and periodontal pockets, which produced both beta-glucuronidase and hyaluronidase were alpha hemolytic streptococci, Streptococcus mitis . 2. 2. The finding of three different strains of Streptococcus mitis is reported. 3. 3.

Synthesis of intracellular iodophilic polysaccharide by Streptococcus mitis

Archives of Oral Biology, 1963
Abstract The synthesis of iodine-staining polysaccharide from glucose has been studied using a strain of Streptococcus mitis . Polysaccharide was shown to be intra-cellular, and to be a polymer composed solely of glucose linked in part by alpha 1, 4 glucosidic bonds. During exponential growth, the organism was found to synthesize polysaccharide at a

Pyogenic liver abscess caused by Streptococcus mitis

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2013
A 68-year-old woman with a history of well controlled asthma presented to the hospital emergency department after 4 days of fever and non-bloody diarrhoea. Dietary history was relevant only for a meal at a local steakhouse that contained cooked fi sh 5 days before admission.

ION INTERACTIONS IN THE AGGREGATION OF STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Series B: Microbiology, 1983
Spontaneous aggregation of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 was highly dependent on various electrolytes such as sodium chloride, sodium phosphate or potassium phosphate with an optimum at 10 mM concentration. No aggregation was obtained in distilled water.

Spontaneous aggregation of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1981
Abstract – Glucose or sucrose grown cells of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 bind spontaneously to thesurface of each other producing visible microbial aggregates upon incubation in 10 mM Phosphate, Citrate‐phosphate or tris‐maleate buffers. Aggregation was delayed and proceeded at a slower rate when bacteria grown in a culture medium with a low ...

Localization of intracellular polysaccharide granules in Streptococcus mitis

Archives of Oral Biology, 1967
Abstract The accumulation of an intracellular glycogen-like polysaccharide was studied by electron microscopy in a strain of Streptococcus mitis which can store up to 50 per cent of its dry weight as intracellular polysaccharide. Storage of polysaccharide was reflected by an increase in the number but not the size of distinct cytoplasmic granules ...

Trimethylsilyl‐sugar profiles of Streptococcus milleri and Streptococcus mitis

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1983
Seventy strains of ‘viridans‐group’ streptococci were analysed gas chromatographically after preparation of trimethylsilyl ethers of their cellular sugars. The resulting profiles were evaluated as a possible aid to taxonomy. Glycerol, glucose, galactose, N‐acetyl‐glucosamine and N‐acetylmuramic acid were found in all strains, in ...

Effect of Neuraminidase on the Adherence to Salivary Pellicle of Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus mitis

Caries Research, 2009
Neuraminidase-sensitive adherence to experimental salivary pellicles was studied using eight strains of Streptococcus sanguis and five strains of Streptococcus mitis. Approximately 60% of the strains of each species showed significantly lower adherence to neuraminidase-treated versus untreated saliva-coated hydroxyapatite. In addition, the adherence of

Streptococcus mitis infection in newborns.

Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 1995
Although neonatal infections caused by Streptococcus viridans have been suggested to be less severe than those caused by classic neonatal pathogens, little is known about neonatal infections caused by specific species within this group of bacteria. We report six infants who had S. mitis isolated from blood culture. All were infected at < or = 3 days of

Retroperitoneal Abscess Caused by Streptococcus mitis

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2016
Abstract Retroperitoneal abscess is an uncommon infection that is associated with high morbidity. Early diagnosis is imperative; however, due to its insidious onset and subtle presentation, the diagnosis is often missed. We report a case of a retroperitoneal abscess caused by Streptococcus mitis which is usually not implicated as a serious ...
