The distribution of intermedilysin, a human-specific cytolysin, among the anginosus group
streptococci and the correlation of toxin production and infection by Streptococcus …

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 …

Streptococcus intermedius is a member of the normal flora of the mouth but is also an
opportunistic pathogen associated with purulent infections at oral and nonoral sites …

Streptococcus intermedius causes endogenous infections leading to abscesses. This
species produces intermedilysin (ILY), a human‐specific cytolysin. Because of the significant …

Streptococcus intermedius is an opportunistic pathogen of humans that causes purulent
infections, including brain and liver abscesses. This pathogen secretes a human-specific …

The unique species specificity of the bacterial cytolysin intermedilysin is explained by its
requirement for the human complement regulator CD59 as the primary receptor. Binding …

Streptococcus intermedius is associated with deep-seated purulent infections. In this study,
we investigated expression and functional activities of antigen I/II in S. intermedius. The S …

Intermedilysin is a pore‐forming cytolysin belonging to the streptolysin O gene family known
as the 'Cholesterol‐binding/dependent cytolysins' and is unique within the family in that it is …

The aim of this study was to establish an identification method for the anginosus group
within the genus Streptococcus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Using a primer pair …

Streptococcus intermedius belongs to the anginosus group of streptococci (AGS) and is
associated with endogenous infections leading to abscesses in the oral cavity and at deep …
