چکیده
Similar alpha-(1-->6) linkage-rich, soluble, extracellular glucans have been isolated from six strains of two genetically distinct groups of Streptococcus sanguis and three strains of Streptococcus mitior.

Serological identification of Streptococcus sanguis and Str mitior.
A total of 165 strains of Streptococcus sanguis and Str mitior were selected on the basis of their biochemical reactions using established identification procedures. These strains were also classified using API Database and were then screened against five candidate grouping sera. Biochemical tests and serological identification were in general complementary, but no regular associations between ...
متن کاملIndifferent streptococci in normal and purulent eyes of neonates.
The incidence of indifferent streptococci in the eyes of neonates less than 6 days old was investigated. The isolation of indifferent streptococci was significantly higher in infants with sticky eyes. Speciation using a shortened identification scheme was carried out on isolates; Streptococcus mitior and Streptococcus sanguis were the most common species in both purulent and non-infected eyes. ...
متن کاملUse of specifically labeled sucrose for comparison of extracellular glucan and fructan metabolism by oral streptococci.
Sucrose labeled in the fructosyl ((3)H) and glucosyl ((14)C) moieties was used to quantitate extracellular polysaccharide production and degradation by cariogenic and noncariogenic oral streptococci. All of the strains produced glucan and fructan. Streptococcus salivarius produced primarily fructan, whereas S. mutans and S. sanguis produced more glucan than fructan. The cariogenic streptococci ...
متن کاملCloned gtfA gene of Streptococcus mutans LM7 alters glucan synthesis in Streptococcus sanguis.
Streptococcus mutans LM7 (Bratthall serotype e) chromosomal DNA was partially digested with EcoRI and ligated into the positive-selection plasmid vector pOP203(A2+). The ligation mixture was transformed into Escherichia coli, and transformants were selected for tetracycline resistance. Recombinant-bearing clones were screened for their ability to ferment raffinose, using the procedure of Robeso...
متن کاملAn immunofluorescent method for detecting antibodies against viridans streptococci in Streptococcus viridans endocarditis.
Serum was collected one to three months after the onset of symptoms from eight endocarditis cases and from another endocarditis case about three weeks after the onset of symptoms (case 8 in Table). Endocarditis was proven in each case clinically and by numerous sets of blood -cultures that yielded growth of viridans streptococci. Three positive standard reference sera, obtained from patients wi...
