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 ...

Identification of a secreted cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (mitilysin) from Streptococcus mitis

, 2007
We have detected a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, which we have named mitilysin, in a small number of <i>Streptococcus mitis</i> isolates. We have sequenced the mitilysin gene from seven isolates of <i>S. mitis</i>.

EXPERIMENTAL ARTHRITIS IN THE RABBIT, PRODUCED WITH STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1914
1. We have produced arthritis in 50 per cent. of the rabbits injected with Streptococcus mitis. 2. The character of the arthritis is identical with that produced by Micrococcus rheumaticus. 3. The exudate in and about the joints partakes of the same nature as that caused by Streptococcus rheumaticus.
