Protoplast formation and localization of enzymes in Streptococcus mitis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1983
Cells of Streptococcus mitis ATCC 903 were converted to stable protoplasts by the cell wall-degrading M-1 enzyme of the mutanolysin complex isolated from Streptomyces globisporus. Over 90% of total glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), and dextranglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.70) was recovered in the cytoplasmic fraction, whereas over 20% of ...

Neuraminidase Activity: A Biochemical Marker to Distinguish Streptococcus mitis from Streptococcus sanguis

, 1984
Selected reference and freshly isolated strains of Streptococcus mitis (mitior) and Streptococcus sanguis were assayed for cell-associated neuraminidase activity by their ability to hydrolyze [3H-] sialyllactitol.

Mitis group streptococci express variable pilus islet 2 pili. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus sanguinis are members of the Mitis group of streptococci and agents of oral biofilm, dental plaque and infective endocarditis, disease processes that involve bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Proteotyping bacteria: Characterization, differentiation and identification of pneumococcus and other species within the Mitis Group of the genus Streptococcus by tandem mass spectrometry proteomics.

PLoS ONE, 2018
A range of methodologies may be used for analyzing bacteria, depending on the purpose and the level of resolution needed. The capability for recognition of species distinctions within the complex spectrum of bacterial diversity is necessary for progress ...

Catheter‐related bloodstream infections, infective endocarditis, and vertebral osteomyelitis in adults receiving home parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral nutrition are at risk of catheter‐related bloodstream infection. Metastatic infections include infective endocarditis and vertebral osteomyelitis. We aimed to investigate the incidences of catheter‐related bloodstream infection, infective endocarditis, and vertebral osteomyelitis

Determination of the species among mitis group of genus Streptococus using a molecular identification key [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2012
We analyzed the gene order conservation among the species of genus Streptococcus and based on this we developed a molecular identification key. The identification key was not made up based on the genes’ amino acid or nucleotide sequences but on the ...

Zinc‐stabilized stannous fluoride modulates the periodontal microbiome, reducing Fusobacteria, key Gram‐negative species, and overall inflammation within an experimental gingivitis clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a dentifrice containing stannous fluoride stabilized with zinc phosphate on subgingival microbiome composition and clinical inflammation during experimental gingivitis, compared with a sodium fluoride control. Methods This investigation was conducted as a secondary analysis of a randomized,

Identification of MMP-like protein from Streptococcus mitis

, 2020
Streptococcus mitis is a normal commensal of the human oral cavity and oropharynx. This microorganism is an opportunistic pathogen in immune compromised hosts and a cause of invasive diseases such as infective endocarditis.
