Experimental bacterial endocarditis due to Streptococcus mitis.
It is important in order to advance the increasingly successful attack on subacute bacterial endocarditis to be able to produce the disease experimentally and to treat it with new and improved therapeutic regimens. Since endocarditis caused by Streptococcus mitis has not been consistently produced previously in the dog, a study was undertaken in which cardiovascular stress was created by the es...
متن کاملSusceptibility testing of Streptococcus mitis group isolates.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Suppurative oral and maxillofacial infections are usually mixed infections due to aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, most frequently by oral streptococci and antimicrobial treatment is necessary for such infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus mitis group strains isolated from Romanian patients with different or...
متن کاملMetabolism of the reserve polysaccharide of Streptococcus mitis: Properties of a transglucosylase.
1. A transglucosylase has been separated from cell extracts of Streptococcus mitis, and has been partially purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. 2. The transglucosylase was present in the six strains of Streptococcus mitis that were examined, and the activity of the enzyme was the same whether the cells had grown on glucose or on maltose. Four of the strains could store intracellular io...
متن کاملStreptococcus suis, Streptococcus mitis, what is the problem?
In recent months Hong Kong citizens have learned much about a lethal bacterium— Streptococcus suis— which has caused at least 38 deaths among 204 people infected in Sichuan province alone. They were told that this bacterium is widely spread among pigs; many carry it without developing any illness. Environmental factors such as high temperature or humidity might trigger off a clinical infection ...
متن کاملDiverse Virulent Pneumophages Infect Streptococcus mitis
Streptococcus mitis has emerged as one of the leading causes of bacterial endocarditis and is related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Antibiotic resistance has also increased among strains of S. mitis and S. pneumoniae. Phages are being reinvestigated as alternatives to antibiotics for managing infections. In this study, the two virulent phages Cp-1 (Podoviridae) and Dp-1 (Siphoviridae), previousl...
