Background Many bacteria causing systemic invasive infections originate from the oral
cavity by entering the bloodstream. Recently, a novel pathogenic bacterium, Streptococcus …

Streptococcus tigurinus is a novel species of viridans streptococci, shown to cause severe
invasive infections such as infective endocarditis, spondylodiscitis and meningitis. S …

We recently described the novel species Streptococcus tigurinus sp. nov. belonging to the
Streptococcus mitis group. The type strain AZ_3aT of S. tigurinus was originally isolated from …

Streptococcus tigurinus is a new member of the Streptococcus viridians group and is closely
related to Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus …

Streptococcus tigurinus is a new member of the Mitis group and is associated with infective
endocarditis. Low and high virulent variants have been described. A search was made in the …

Gene sequence analysis methods, including 16S rRNA identification, allows accurate
identification of Streptococcus species, which include phenotypically closely related species …

Streptococcus tigurinus is a newly described member of the Streptococcus mitis group. Due
to the difficulty in distinguishing viridans group streptococci (VGS) by phenotype, analysis of …

We report here a rare case of spondylodiscitis due to Streptococcus cristatus in a healthy 66-
year-old male. Due to an abscess causing neurological deficit, which required immediate …

Background Streptococcus tigurinus was recently described as a new streptococcal species
within the viridans group streptococci (VGS). The objectives of the present work were to …

Recently, we reported the isolation of Streptobacillus hongkongensis sp. nov. from patients
with quinsy or septic arthritis. In this study, we developed a PCR sequencing test after …
