Synthesis of intracellular iodophilic polysaccharide by Streptococcus mitis
Archives of Oral Biology, 1963Abstract 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, 2013A 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.

Trimethylsilyl‐sugar profiles of Streptococcus milleri and Streptococcus mitis
Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1983Seventy 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 varying amounts ...

Localization of intracellular polysaccharide granules in Streptococcus mitis
Archives of Oral Biology, 1967Abstract 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 ...

Spontaneous aggregation of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1981Abstract – 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 ...

Caries Research, 1989
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 Keratitis: A Case Report
İzmir Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi66-years old female patient applied to our hospital’s emergency service with the complaint of an olive tree branch hitting her right eye. She had conjunctival hyperaemia, discharge, decreased vision and pain on her eye. In the ophthalmologic examination, visual acuity was measured as 0.1 on the right and 0.7 on the left eye.

Streptococcus mitis. A cause of serious infection in adults.
Archives of internal medicine, 1987Twenty strains of Streptococcus mitis were isolated from blood or body fluids at the Cleveland Veterans Administration Medical Center from Jan 1, 1981, to April 30, 1984. Fifteen (75%) isolates were considered contaminants. Five (25%) were clinically important and associated with a serious infection of the oropharynx or gastrointestinal tract (three of

REPRESSION OF HYALURONIDASE IN STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS, ATCC 903
Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology and Immunology, 1974The synthesis of hyaluronidase, which is a constitutive, cell‐bound enzyme in Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903, was investigated in cultures grown on different carbohydrates. Mannose was found to repress enzyme synthesis completely. The repressive effect of glucose was concentration dependent.

Identification of a functional capsule locus in Streptococcus mitis
Molecular Oral Microbiology, 2011SummaryThe polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae is a hallmark for virulence in humans. In its close relative Streptococcus mitis, a common human commensal, analysis of the sequenced genomes of six strains revealed the presence of a putative capsule locus in four of them. We constructed an isogenic S. mitis mutant from the type strain that
