THE FORMATION OF METHEMOGLOBIN BY STREPTOCOCCUS VIRIDANS

The Formation of Methemoglobin by Streptococcus Viridans

Cultures of Streptococcus viridans when brought into contact with red blood corpuscles have the power of transforming oxyhemoglobin into methemoglobin. The reaction occurs only in the presence of living streptococci when they are able to carry on their metabolic activities. The intensity of the reaction runs roughly parallel with the period of growth and multiplication of the bacteria and gradu...

The Localization of Streptococcus Viridans

The results of our experiments do not substantiate in full the theory of the power of selective action of Streptococcus viridans. A few strains showed a remarkable constancy in location and type of lesion, but these strains were greatly in the minority. The location of the lesions in animals seemed to bear no relation to the origin of the organism or to the lesions produced by it in the patient...

The Formation of Methemoglobin

Primary Streptococcus viridans pneumonia.

We describe three cases of acute uncomplicated bacterial pneumonia due to viridans streptococci in previously healthy adults, which were indistinguishable from those caused by other well-known respiratory pathogens. On arrival, all of these patients were treated with IV aqueous penicillin based on Gram stain of sputum which showed predominant Gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains. These speci...
