Abstract Purpose. Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus mitis belong to the Mitis group,
which are mostly commensals in the human oral cavity. Even though S. oralis and S. mitis …

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality
worldwide. The rich genomic diversity among strains of pneumococci contributes to varied …

Streptococcus tigurinus was recently described as a novel species, and some strains are
highly virulent. We detected S. tigurinus in infected tissue sampled by necropsy. In order to …

Background: Streptococcus tigurinus is a novel oral viridans species recently separated from
Streptococcus mitis. Though S. tigurinus has been shown to cause lethal bacteremic …

Viridans streptococci were obtained from primates (great apes, rhesus monkeys, and ring-
tailed lemurs) held in captivity, as well as from free-living animals (chimpanzees and lemurs) …

Many of more than 700 bacterial species inhabiting the oral cavity are opportunistic
pathogens causing systemic infections in addition to dental and periodontal diseases. This …

Human skin is a large, complex ecosystem that harbors diverse microbial communities. The
rapid advances in molecular techniques facilitate the exploration of skin associated bacterial …

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

Oral streptococci play a significant role in the development of dental caries. In this process
the germ called Streptococcus mutans acts as a key pathogen and fits as an appropriate …

La méthode d'identification bactérienne par spectrométrie de masse MALDI-TOF a été
adapté avec succès pour l'identification de routine des microorganismes dans les …
