Streptococcus mitis Expressing Pneumococcal Serotype 1 Capsule [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractStreptococcus pneumoniae’spolysaccharide capsule is an important virulence factor; vaccine-induced immunity to specific capsular polysaccharide effectively prevents disease. Serotype 1S.pneumoniaeis rarely found in healthy persons, but is highly invasive and a common cause of meningitis outbreaks and invasive disease outside of the United ...

Streptococcus Mitis Septicaemia and Hepatitis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
The case of an otherwise well 9-y-old boy with fever, papular rash, jaundice and impaired liver function is presented. Streptococcus mitis sensitive to penicillin grew in blood culture. The boy had an excellent outcome. The clinical spectrum of viridans streptococci may be wider than currently anticipated, and Streptococcus mitis may cause septicaemia ...

Parallel Evolution of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis to Pathogenic and Mutualistic Lifestyles

mBio, 2014
The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of fatal infections affecting humans. Intriguingly, phylogenetic analysis shows that the species constitutes one evolutionary lineage in a cluster of the otherwise commensal ...
