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 ...

Diverse virulent pneumophages infect Streptococcus mitis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Streptococcus mitis has emerged as one of the leading causes of bacterial endocarditis and is related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Antibiotic resistance has also increased among strains of S. mitis and S. pneumoniae.

StreptoBase: An Oral Streptococcus mitis Group Genomic Resource and Analysis Platform. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The oral streptococci are spherical Gram-positive bacteria categorized under the phylum Firmicutes which are among the most common causative agents of bacterial infective endocarditis (IE) and are also important agents in septicaemia in neutropenic ...

Mouse IgG2a Antibodies Specific for the Commensal Streptococcus mitis Show Stronger Cross-Reactivity with Streptococcus pneumoniae than IgG1 Antibodies

Journal of Immunology Research, 2019
Here we show that mouse IgG2a and IgG1 antibodies specific for the commensal Streptococcus mitis cross-react with pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 2 and 4, although the cross-reactivity conferred by IgG2a is stronger than that by IgG1 ...

Low penicillin susceptibility in Streptococcus mitis/oralis from bloodstream infections in pediatric populations [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Streptococcus 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.

Necrotizing fasciitis due to Streptococcus mitis caused by accidental human bite

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016
Human bite wounds are more prone to infection than animal bites, which may cause necrotizing soft tissue infections such as myositis, fasciitis. Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms may be responsible, including Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus ...

Proteotyping bacteria: Characterization, differentiation and identification of pneumococcus and other species within the Mitis Group of the genus Streptococcus by tandem mass spectrometry proteomics.

PLoS ONE, 2018
A range of methodologies may be used for analyzing bacteria, depending on the purpose and the level of resolution needed. The capability for recognition of species distinctions within the complex spectrum of bacterial diversity is necessary for progress ...

Antibodies Reactive to Commensal Streptococcus mitis Show Cross-Reactivity With Virulent Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotypes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Current vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacterial species that afflicts people by causing a wide spectrum of diseases, do not protect against all pneumococcal serotypes. Thus, alternative vaccines to fight pneumococcal infections that target

Identification of Virulence-Associated Properties by Comparative Genome Analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae, S. pseudopneumoniae, S. mitis, Three S. oralis Subspecies, and S. infantis

mBio, 2019
From a common ancestor, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis evolved in parallel into one of the most important pathogens and a mutualistic colonizer of humans, respectively.

An unusual case report of Streptococcus mitis causing complex empyema thoracis

Journal of Association of Pulmonologist of Tamil Nadu, 2020
Empyema is the collection of pus within the pleural space. The most common infective etiology of empyema is the Gram-positive organisms such as Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus.
