Effects of Expression of Streptococcus pneumoniae PspC on the Ability of Streptococcus mitis to Evade Complement-Mediated Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis are genetically closely related and both frequently colonise the naso-oropharynx, yet S. pneumoniae is a common cause of invasive infections whereas S. mitis is only weakly pathogenic.

Community-acquired Streptococcus mitis meningitis: a case report [PDF]

open access: goldInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Streptococcus mitis is prevalent in the normal flora of the oropharynx, the female genital tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. Although it is usually considered to have low virulence and pathogenicity, Streptococcus mitis may cause life-threatening infections, particularly endocarditis. Meningitis with S.

Commensal Streptococcus mitis produces two different lipoteichoic acids of type I and type IV

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus mitis possesses, like other members of the Mitis group of viridans streptococci, phosphorylcholine (P-Cho)-containing teichoic acids (TAs) in its cell wall.

THE OXIDATION OF BUTYRIC ACID BY STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Genome analysis of a highly virulent serotype 1 strain of streptococcus pneumoniae from West Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, estimated to cause 2 million deaths annually. The majority of pneumococcal mortality occurs in developing countries, with serotype 1 a leading cause in these areas.

Streptococcus mitis Abscesses Mimicking Liver Metastases [PDF]

open access: yesCureus, 2020
Streptococcus mitis (S. mitis) is a commensal bacterial species that commonly colonizes the oropharynx and gastrointestinal tract. It is seldom reported as a human pathogen. However, immunocompromised individuals may be at risk of infection. We describe a 62-year-old male with prostate cancer who presented with multiple S.

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.
