Streptococcus Milleri Is Not an Uncommon Pyogenic Pathogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method: Seventy-three SMG isolated between November 2003 to October 2006 were examined. The phenotypic characteristics and hemolytic patterns of the bacterial colonies were noted. Lancefield sero-grouping was determined by rapid latex agglutination slide test. All isolates were tested using Vitek GPI System for identification. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by both disk diffusion method and Vitek GPS System. The clinical conditions associated with SMG isolates were recorded.

Multiple liver abscesses and bacteremia caused by Streptococcus constellatus infection: a case report
The Streptococcus milleri group (SMG) comprises commensal mucosal bacteria. Pyogenic liver abscesses due to hematogenous SMG infection are rare but can be observed even in healthy patients. In such cases, physicians should consider the existence of primary lesions that allow penetration of the SMG.
متن کاملStreptococcus milleri liver abscesses associated with leiomyosarcoma of the ileum.
A number of case reports of pyogenic liver abscess due to Streptococcus milleri have appeared in recent years (Bateman, Eykyn and Phillips, 1975; Reid and Davidson, 1976). The source of infection has either not been apparent or has been localised to the gastrointestinal tract. We describe a case of multiple abscesses in a man who turned out to have a malignant small bowel tumour, an association...

Streptococcus milleri species are found in normal oral flora, upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and they have also been isolated from vagina. S. milleri organisms are associated with pyogenic infections and they either result in isolated infections or are a part of mixed pyogenic infections. Most commonly, they are associated with dental and periodontal abscess, nasopharyngeal in...
متن کاملStreptococcus anginosus ("Streptococcus milleri"): the unrecognized pathogen.
"Streptococcus milleri" is an unofficial name that has been applied to a group of streptococci which, although basically similar, show various hemolytic, serological, and physiological characteristics. The species name Streptococcus anginosus has recently been recognized as the approved name for these organisms. Streptococci known as "S. milleri" have been implicated as etiologic agents in a va...
متن کاملStreptococcus milleri and Recurrent Intra-Abdominal Abscesses: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report a case of recurrent intra-abdominal abscesses as a postoperative complication following diverticular perforation in which Streptococcus milleri (SM) was isolated. SM is evaluated here as a potent pyogenic organism commonly associated with intra-abdominal abscess especially in the postoperative setting. With the commonly adopted conservative management, the challenges of recurrence and...
