Necrotizing fasciitis due to Streptococcus mitis caused by accidental human bite [PDF]
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 ...

A Case of Recurrent Erysipelas Caused by Streptococcus mitis Group
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 ...

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

A Rare Occurrence of Opportunistic Infection by Streptococcus mitis Due to Antibiotic-Induced Neutropenia in Prosthetic Joint Infection. [PDF]
Cureus, 2023 Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication in arthroplasty surgery. Although the prevalence is less than 2, its functional and financial implications are significant. Part of its treatment involves the usage of prolonged and high-dose

THE OXIDATION OF BUTYRIC ACID BY STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1952 Many cultures of the Streptococcus mitis group have been reported to oxidize butyric acid with the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in both growing cultures and resting cell suspensions (Niven, Evans, and White, 1945). An investigation of this reaction was undertaken in this laboratory with the ultimate aim of obtaining information concerning the ...
