Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, meningitis and other invasive
diseases resulting in high mortality and morbidity among children under the age of five …

Accurate identification of bacterial isolates is an essential task in clinical microbiology.
Phenotypic methods are time-consuming and either fail to identify some bacteria such as …

Cultural studies have indicated that a subset of the oral microflora is responsible for
endodontic infections. Approximately 50% of oral bacteria are unculturable, so it is likely that …

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a member of the Mitis group of streptococci which, according
to 16S rRNA-sequence based phylogenetic reconstruction, includes 12 species. While other …

We have identified an unusual group of viridans group streptococci that resemble
Streptococcus pneumoniae. DNA-DNA homology studies suggested that a subset of these …

Simple PCR and sequencing assays that utilize a single pair of degenerate primers were
used to characterize a 429-bp-long DNA fragment internal (sodA int) to the sodA gene …

Background Methods for assigning strains to bacterial species are cumbersome and no
longer fit for purpose. The concatenated sequences of multiple house-keeping genes have …

The genus Streptococcus comprises important pathogens that have a severe impact on
human health and are responsible for substantial economic losses to agriculture. Here, we …

The taxonomic dissection of the Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus group was
carried out upon obtaining sequences for the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase …
