With S. anginosus blood stream infections it has been widely reported that the source is often from an abscess. In one series of 51 cases of Strep milleri group bacteremia, 6 were associated with abscesses. [5] Pyogenic liver abscess is associated with S. anginosus and in studies in the 1970s was reported to be the most common cause of hepatic ...
The anginosus group streptococci are members of the viridans streptococci group. [1] They have been implicated as etiologic agents in a variety of serious purulent infections, but because of their heterogeneous characteristics, these organisms may be unrecognized or misidentified by clinical laboratorians. [ 2 ]
This group includes S. equi, which causes strangles in horses, [19] and S. zooepidemicus — S. equi is a clonal descendant or biovar of the ancestral S. zooepidemicus — which causes infections in several species of mammals, including cattle and horses.
Streptococcus intermedius is an aerotolerant anaerobic commensal bacterium and a member of the Streptococcus anginosus group.The S. anginosus group, occasionally termed “Streptococcus milleri group” (SMG) display hemolytic and serologic diversity, yet share core physiological traits.
However, S. bovis group organisms (especially S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus and S. infantarius subsp. coli) have been associated with endocarditis (3). Although infection with S. bovis group organisms occurs with higher frequency in adults than in pediatric patients, these organisms have been reported to cause neonatal sepsis and ...
The virulence of S. pseudintermedius is an area of on going research and has many unknowns. [40] The virulence factors carried by S. pseudintermedius vary between strains and do not determine if it will cause an infection. Rather, infection is a result of an animal's immune status, [1] environment, and genetics. [39]
However, it can frequently cause purulent infections in other parts of the body. [3] DNA homology studies and 16S rRNA sequence analysis demonstrate S. constellatus belongs to the Streptococcus anginosus group (milleri group) along with Streptococcus intermedius and Streptococcus anginosus. [4]
S. pyogenes is the cause of many human diseases, ranging from mild superficial skin infections to life-threatening systemic diseases. [2] The most frequent manifestations of disease are commonly known as scarlet fever. Infections typically begin in the throat or skin. The most striking sign is a strawberry-like rash.
