Characterization of Streptococcus gordonii prophage PH15: complete genome sequence and functional analysis of phage-encoded integrase and endolysin [PDF]
, 2008 Streptococcus gordonii OMZ1039, isolated from supragingival dental plaque, was found to harbour a prophage, PH15, whose excision could be induced by mitomycin treatment. Phage PH15 belongs to the Siphoviridae.

Evaluation of Streptococcus oralis adhesion and biofilm formation on laser-processed titanium
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021 To prevent implant-associated infections, surface modifications need to be developed that prevent bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation. In the present study, titanium surfaces were processed by nanosecond-pulsed laser ablation to generate a ...

Molecular Relationships and Classification of Some Viridans Streptococci as Streptococcus oralis and Emended Description of Streptococcus oralis (Bridge and Sneath 1982) [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1985 Nucleic acid hybridization studies together with a chemical cell wall analysis and physiological data indicated that some strains designated as Streptococcus sanguis II, Streptococcus sp. (“S. mitior”-S. sanguis), and “S. viridans” I, II, and IV are closely related to the type strain of S. oralis.

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 ...
