The administration of high-dose clindamycin plus benzylpenicillin has been recommended
for the treatment of streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome caused by Streptococcus …

ABSTRACT A locus containing a gene with homology to ccpA of other bacteria has been
cloned from Streptococcus mutans LT11, sequenced, and named regM. Upstream of the …

Streptococcus anginosus produces the novel antimicrobial peptide Angicin, which inhibits
Gram positive microorganisms and is classified as a group IId bacteriocin. Production of …

Recently, we described the function of an uncharacterized two‐gene regulatory system
consisting of a LytTR family transcription regulator and a putative membrane protein, which …

The administration of high-dose clindamycin (CLI) along with penicillin is recommended for
the treatment of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. However, the prevalence of CLI …

The Streptococcus mutans hdrRM operon encodes a novel two-gene regulatory system
induced by high cell density. Previous studies identified hdrM as the only known negative …

Streptococcus oligofermentans is an oral commensal that inhibits the growth of the caries
pathogen Streptococcus mutans by producing copious amounts of H2O2 and that grows …

Bacteriocin synthesis in some Streptococcus thermophilus strains is under the control of a
complex blp locus but bacteriocin is produced only when a quorum-sensing regulatory …

A novel cytotoxin (intermedilysin) specific for human cells was identified as a cytolytic factor
of Streptococcus intermedius UNS46 isolated from a human liver abscess. Intermedilysin …

The Streptococcus Invasion Locus (Sil) was first described in Streptococcus pyogenes and
Streptococcus pneumoniae, where it has been implicated in virulence. The two-component …
