Streptococcus mitis is found in the oral cavity and nasopharynx and forms a significant
portion of the human microbiome. In this study, in silico analyses indicated the presence of …

All bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems are based on the production, secretion, and
detection of small signaling molecules. Gram-positive bacteria typically use small peptides …

The formation of dental caries is a complex process that ultimately leads to damage of the
tooth enamel from acids produced by microbes in attached biofilms. The bacterial …

Quorum sensing (QS) regulates diverse and coordinated behaviors in bacteria, including the
production of virulence factors, biofilm formation, sporulation, and competence development …

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 …

Bacterial pathogens rely on chemical signaling and environmental cues to regulate disease-
causing behavior in complex microenvironments. The human pathogen Streptococcus …

Streptococcus mitis is a normal member of the human oral microbiota and a leading
opportunistic pathogen causing infective endocarditis (IE). Despite the complex interactions …

S. mitis is an abundant member of the commensal microbiota of the oral cavity and pharynx,
which has the potential to promote systemic infections. By analyzing a collection of S. mitis …

During the development of human oral biofilm communities, the spatial arrangement of the
bacteria is thought to be driven by metabolic interactions between them. Streptococcus …

Streptococcus mitis is a colonizer of the oral cavity and the nasopharynx, and is closely
related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Both species occur in encapsulated and …
