Streptococcus anginosus
|
D034366 |
[A species of gram-positive bacteria in the STREPTOCOCCUS MILLERI GROUP. It is the most frequently seen isolate of that group, has a proclivity for abscess formation, and is most often isolated from the blood, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tract.

|
Streptococcus bovis
|
D016985 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria commonly found in the alimentary tract of cows, sheep, and other ruminants. It occasionally is encountered in cases of human endocarditis. This species is nonhemolytic.

|
Streptococcus constellatus
|
D034365 |
[A species of gram-positive bacteria in the STREPTOCOCCUS MILLERI GROUP. It is commonly found in the oropharnyx flora and has a proclivity for abscess formation in the upper body and respiratory tract.

|
Streptococcus equi
|
D018502 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from abscesses in submaxillary glands and mucopurulent discharges of the upper respiratory tract of horses. This organism belongs to Group C streptococci with regards to antigen response and is known to cause strangles. The subspecies S. zooepidemicus is also considered a pathogen of horses.

D000070197 |
[A subspecies of Streptococcus gallolyticus. It and other subspecies have been reported to cause infections resulting in BACTEREMIA; ENDOCARDITIS; and neonatal MENINGITIS.

|
Streptococcus gordonii
|
D054773 |
[A species of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family STREPTOCOCCACEAE. It is a normal inhabitant of the human oral cavity, and causes DENTAL PLAQUE and ENDOCARDITIS. It is being investigated as a vehicle for vaccine delivery.

|
Streptococcus iniae
|
D000070058 |
[A species of Streptococcus that is pathogenic in fish and may also cause disease in humans who routinely handle infected fish. Those who are of Asian descent, elderly, or have chronic diseases such as DIABETES MELLITUS; RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE; or LIVER CIRRHOSIS are more susceptible to Streptococcus iniae infections.

|
Streptococcus intermedius
|
D034367 |
[A species of gram-positive bacteria in the STREPTOCOCCUS MILLERI GROUP. It is commonly found in the oropharynx flora and has a proclivity for abscess formation, most characteristically in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and LIVER.

|
Streptococcus milleri Group
|
D034364 |
[A subset of VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCI, but the species in this group differ in their hemolytic pattern and diseases caused. These species are often beta-hemolytic and produce pyogenic infections.

|
Streptococcus mitis
|
D034361 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria commensal in the respiratory tract.
] |
|
Streptococcus mutans
|
D013295 |
[A polysaccharide-producing species of STREPTOCOCCUS isolated from human dental plaque.
] |
|
Streptococcus oralis
|
D019533 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria that is numerous in the mouth and throat. It is a common cause of endocarditis and is also implicated in dental plaque formation.
] |
|
Streptococcus pneumoniae
|
D013296 |
[A gram-positive organism found in the upper respiratory tract, inflammatory exudates, and various body fluids of normal and/or diseased humans and, rarely, domestic animals.
] |
|
Streptococcus pyogenes
|
D013297 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from skin lesions, blood, inflammatory exudates, and the upper respiratory tract of humans. It is a group A hemolytic Streptococcus that can cause SCARLET FEVER and RHEUMATIC FEVER.
] |
|
Streptococcus salivarius
|
D000070001 |
[A species of Streptococcus that occurs in the human oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. It is a constituent of DENTAL PLAQUE and some strains may be pathogenic if they enter the bloodstream. However, other strains such as Streptococcus salivarius K12 produce BACTERIOCINS and are used as PROBIOTICS.
] |
|
Streptococcus sanguis
|
D013298 |
[A gram-positive organism found in dental plaque, in blood, on heart valves in subacute endocarditis, and infrequently in saliva and throat specimens. L-forms are associated with recurrent aphthous stomatitis.
] |
|
Streptococcus sobrinus
|
D016986 |
[A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from the human tooth surface. Strains have been shown to be cariogenic in experimental animals and may be associated with human dental caries.
] |
|
Streptococcus suis
|
D017011 |
