Identification of Streptococcus bovis and Streptococcus salivarius in clinical laboratories.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptococci identified as Streptococcus bovis, S. bovis variant, and Streptococcus salivarius were examined with respect to physiological and serological characteristics and cellular fatty acid content. Similarities in physiological reactions and problems encountered in serological analysis were noted, suggesting that an expanded battery of physiological tests is needed to definitively identify these streptococci. Cellular fatty acid analysis provided an accurate method for distinguishing S. salivarius from S. bovis and S. bovis variant.

Development of a DNA probe for Streptococcus bovis by using a cloned amylase gene.
Streptococcus bovis is a normal inhabitant of the rumen but has been implicated as a causative agent for ruminal lactic acidosis and related problems. While rarely isolated from humans, S. bovis has been identified as a causative agent for endocarditis, meningitis, and septicemia. Recent reports have also suggested a correlation between human colonic carcinoma and increased levels of S. bovis. ...
متن کاملThe Polysaccharides Synthesized by Strepto- Coccus Salivarius and Strepto-
In a previous paper (1) it was reported that certain non-hemolytic streptococci from the human throat are capable of synthesizing large amounts of a carbohydrate from sucrose and raffinose. These organisms seem to be similar to those studied by Oerskov and Poulsen (2). When grown on the surface of agar containing 5 per cent sucrose or raffinose, large mucoid colonies are produced which are abou...

OBJECTIVES To assess the oritavancin spectrum and activity against 2811 rarer species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), streptococci and other Gram-positive species. METHODS A total of 2057 CoNS (14 species), 674 streptococci (7 groups) and 80 other Gram-positive species (3 genera) collected over a 5 year period as part of the SENTRY Program (2008-12) were included. Isolates were pr...
متن کاملDifferential recovery of Streptococcus mutans from various mitis-salivarius agar preparations.
Recoveries of Streptococcus mutans from human dental plaque were lower when plated on mitis-salivarius agar obtained from Baltimore Biological Laboratories as compared with mitis-salivarius agar obtained from Difco Laboratories. However, no difference in recoveries of established laboratory strains of S. mutans was observed between these two agar preparations.
