| [the importance of streptococcus bovis systemic infections]. | streptococcus bovis is relatively common cause of bacteremia and endocarditis, especially in older persons, or in patients that have some kind of chronic disease. these infections are frequently connected with malignant, potentially malignant, or benign colorectal neoplasia. hematogenous dissemination of streptococcus bovis could result with various clinical manifestations, namely purulent meningitis, brain abscess, osteomyelitis, spondylodiscitis, and many different kinds of infections in aids ... | 2006 | 17087134 |
| streptococcus suis endocarditis and colon carcinoma: a case report. | streptococcus bovis has classically been associated with colorectal carcinomas in literature. curiously enough, no other streptococcus species have hitherto been associated with such a malignancy or any other tumors. this report presents a case of early-stage colorectal carcinoma diagnosed in a patient with infection with the related streptococcus species s suis. a discussion of possible pathogenetic implications follows. | 2006 | 17026794 |
| the effect of calcium and magnesium on the activity of bovicin hc5 and nisin. | some gram-positive bacteria produce small peptides (bacteriocins) that have antimicrobial activity, but many bacteria can become bacteriocin resistant. bovicin hc5, a lantibiotic produced by streptococcus bovis hc5, has the ability to inhibit nisin-resistant bacteria. because nisin resistance has in many cases been correlated with an alteration of lipoteichoic acids or the polar head groups of membrane phospholipids, we decided to examine the effect of divalent cations on nisin and bovicin hc5 a ... | 2006 | 17036211 |
| bacterial competition between a bacteriocin-producing and a bacteriocin-negative strain of streptococcus bovis in batch and continuous culture. | a bacteriocin-producing streptococcus bovis strain (hc5) outcompeted a sensitive strain (jb1) before it reached stationary phase (ph 6.4), even though it grew 10% slower and cell-free bovicin hc5 could not yet be detected. the success of bacteriocin-negative s. bovis isolates was enhanced by the presence of another sensitive bacterium (clostridium sticklandii sr). pcr based on repetitive dna sequences indicated that s. bovis hc5 was not simply transferring bacteriocin genes to s. bovis jb1. when ... | 2006 | 17117976 |
| gemella endocarditis: consider the colon. | gemella species, including gemella morbillorum, are part of the normal flora of the human oropharynx, upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. differentiation of gemella from viridans streptococci in the laboratory may be difficult. although uncommonly pathogenic, they have been implicated in a variety of human infections, most notably infective endocarditis. dental instrumentation appears to be the usual source of infection. the case is reported of gemella morbillorum native valve en ... | 2006 | 17152793 |
| late streptococcus bovis infection of knee arthroplasty and its association with carcinoma of the colon: a case report. | streptococcus bovis is a very rare cause of infection of joint arthroplasty. infections with s. bovis have been reported to be associated with various gastrointestinal conditions. we present a case of total knee arthroplasty infected with s. bovis 40 months after a successful knee replacement. the diagnosis was established on joint fluid as well as blood cultures. early diagnosis, arthroscopic wash out and appropriate antibiotics helped salvage the prosthesis. early colonoscopy revealed carcinom ... | 2007 | 17072656 |
| pyogenic liver abscess presenting after malignant polypectomy. | streptococcus bovis bacteremia has been linked to the presence of occult colon cancer since 1977. we present a case of pyogenic liver abscess and bacteremia with a different streptococcus viridans 1 week after colonic adenocarcinoma was removed via polypectomy, discuss the likely etiology and review whether there is evidence to support looking for colon cancer in patients who present similarly but have not already undergone screening. | 2007 | 17406839 |
| identification of alpha-hemolytic streptococci by pyrosequencing the 16s rrna gene and by use of vitek 2. | alpha-hemolytic streptococci are very difficult to identify by phenotypic methods. in this study, a pyrosequencing method for the identification of streptococcal species based on two variable regions of the 16s rrna gene is described. almost all studied streptococcal species (n = 51) represented by their type strains could be differentiated except for some closely related species of the streptococcus bovis or s. salivarius group. the pyrosequencing results of alpha-hemolytic streptococci isolate ... | 2007 | 17215341 |
| production of l-lysine from starch by corynebacterium glutamicum displaying alpha-amylase on its cell surface. | we engineered a corynebacterium glutamicum strain displaying alpha-amylase from streptococcus bovis 148 (amya) on its cell surface to produce amino acids directly from starch. we used pgsa from bacillus subtilis as an anchor protein, and the n-terminus of alpha-amylase was fused to the pgsa. the genes of the fusion protein were integrated into the homoserine dehydrogenase gene locus on the chromosome by homologous recombination. l-lysine fermentation was carried out using c. glutamicum displayin ... | 2007 | 17216452 |
| dominance of prevotella and low abundance of classical ruminal bacterial species in the bovine rumen revealed by relative quantification real-time pcr. | relative quantification real-time pcr was used to quantify several bacterial species in ruminal samples from two lactating cows, each sampled 3 h after feeding on two successive days. abundance of each target taxon was calculated as a fraction of the total 16s rrna gene copies in the samples, using taxon-specific and eubacterial domain-level primers. bacterial populations showed a clear predominance of members of the genus prevotella, which comprised 42% to 60% of the bacterial rrna gene copies ... | 2007 | 17235560 |
