A novel sialic acid-binding adhesin present in multiple species contributes to the pathogenesis of Infective endocarditis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Bacterial binding to platelets is a key step in the development of infective endocarditis (IE). Sialic acid, a common terminal carbohydrate on host glycans, is the major receptor for streptococci on platelets.

Activity of the Lactate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor Oxamic Acid against the Fermentative Bacterium Streptococcus mitis/oralis: Bactericidal Effects and Prevention of Daptomycin Resistance In Vitro and in an Ex Vivo Model

Antibiotics, 2022
Streptococcus mitis/oralis is a fermentative bacterium that relies on lactate dehydrogenase to balance its redox poise and keep glycolysis active. Metabolomic analysis of an in vitro–derived daptomycin-resistant (DAP-R) S.

Salivary pellicles on titanium and their effect on metabolic activity in Streptococcus oralis [PDF]

BMC Oral Health, 2013
Abstract Background Titanium implants in the oral cavity are covered with a saliva-derived pellicle to which early colonizing microorganisms such as Streptococcus oralis can bind. The protein profiles of salivary pellicles on titanium have not been well characterized and the proteins of importance for binding are thus

A Case of Recurrent Erysipelas Caused by Streptococcus mitis Group

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
The aetiology of erysipelas remains poorly defined though beta-haemolytic streptococci are considered as the main causative pathogens. We describe a case of a 70-year-old woman with recurrent erysipelas in her left arm due to infection with streptococci ...

Prolonged Prophylactic Antibiotics Based on Preoperative Bile Culture Reduce Surgical Site Infections After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Following Preoperative Biliary Drainage: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The optimum duration of prophylactic antibiotics after pancreaticoduodenectomy following preoperative biliary drainage to prevent surgical site infections remains controversial. We evaluate whether a prolonged course of prophylactic antibiotics reduces surgical site infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage ...

Machine learning‐assisted prediction of clinical responses to periodontal treatment

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is among the most prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions globally, and is associated with bone resorption, tooth loss, and systemic complications. While its treatment is largely standardized, individual outcomes vary, with some patients experiencing further disease progression despite adherence. Methods We developed

Diversity and random forest models of oral microbiomes in periodontal health using publicly available data

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence on the 16S metabarcoding of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health remains limited. We aimed to analyze the diversity and potential of machine‐learning models of supragingival, subgingival, and salivary microbiomes in periodontal health. Methods A total of 848 samples (supragingival = 210;
