Correct identifications of isolates and strains of the Mitis-Group of the genus Streptococcus
are particularly difficult, due to high genetic similarity, resulting from horizontal gene transfer …

Distinuishing the species of mitis group streptococci is challenging due to ambiguous
phenotypic characteristics and high degree of genetic similarity. This has been particularly …

The close phylogenetic relationship of the important pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae
and several species of commensal streptococci, particularly Streptococcus mitis and …

Purpose. Correct serotype identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is
important for monitoring disease epidemiology and assessing the impacts of pneumococcal …

Taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis
have been difficult to establish biochemically and genetically. We used core-genome …

ABSTRACT A correct identification of Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae is a prerequisite for
investigating the clinical impact of the bacterium. The identification has traditionally relied on …

The genus Streptococcus comprises many important pathogens that impact human and
animal health. Despite their widespread relevance, accurate classification and methods to …

Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae is a member of the viridans group streptococci (VGS)
whose pathogenic significance is unclear. We announce the complete genome sequence of …

Streptococcus pneumoniae typically express one of 92 serologically distinct capsule
polysaccharide (cps) types (serotypes). Some of these serotypes are closely related to each …

The aim of our study was to investigate phenotypic and genotypic features of streptococci
misidentified (misID) as Streptococcus pneumoniae, obtained over 20 years from hospital …
