We reinvestigated the clonal diversity and dynamics of Streptococcus mitis and two other
abundant members of the commensal microbiota of the upper respiratory tract …

The purpose of this study was to examine the genetic structure of the typical commensal
Streptococcus mitis biovar 1 in its natural habitat in the human oral cavity and pharynx and …

A total of 250 isolates of oral streptococci were recovered from swabs of oropharyngeal
surfaces of 3 members of one family. All isolates were examined by biochemical and …

Streptococcus mitis bv. 1 is a pioneer colonizer of the human oral cavity. Studies of its
population dynamics within parents and their infants and within neonates have shown …

A detailed understanding of where bacteria localize is necessary to advance microbial
ecology and microbiome‐based therapeutics. The site‐specialist hypothesis predicts that …

The clonal diversity of 101 isolates of the pioneer bacterium Streptococcus mitis biovar 1
obtained from the oral cavities of 40 human neonates 1 to 3 days, 2 weeks, and 1 month …

Background The microbiota of the upper respiratory tract is increasingly recognized as a
gatekeeper of respiratory health. Despite this, the microbiota of healthy adults remains …

Streptococcus oralis is a member of the normal human oral microbiota, capable of
opportunistic pathogenicity; like related oral streptococci, it exhibits appreciable phenotypic …

As modern humans (Homo sapiens) migrated out of Africa to different parts of the world, their
obligate indigenous bacterial biota accompanied them. As both evolved, the accumulations …

As part of a series of longitudinal studies on the development of the indigenous microflora of
the upper respiratory tract, the establishment of streptococci in the oral cavity and …
