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.

Peptostreptococcus spp. can cause infections such as gluteal decubitus ulcers, diabetes-related foot infections, and rectal abscesses. Anaerobic gram-positive cocci and microaerophilic streptococci are part of the normal skin microbiota, so it is hard to avoid contamination by these bacteria when obtaining specimens.
Researchers have also found a connection between your gut microbiome and inflammation—the chronic kind that can be a culprit in chronic diseases, like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. This ...
Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection Capnocytophaga canimorsus: dogs, cats bites, scratches, or close contact with animals Cat-scratch disease: Bartonella henselae: cats bites or scratches from infected cats Chagas disease: Trypanosoma cruzi: armadillos, Triatominae (kissing bug) Contact of mucosae or wounds with feces of kissing bugs.
Rheumatic fever, a disease that affects the joints, kidneys, and heart valves, is a consequence of untreated strep A infection caused not by the bacterium itself, but due to the antibodies created by the immune system to fight off the infection cross-reacting with other proteins in the body. This "cross-reaction" causes the body to essentially ...
The original study was to examine if Cool Mint Listerine could prevent sexually transmitted infections in 343 men who have sex with other men and who take the HIV preventative medication Pre ...
S. intermedius has been isolated from patients with periodontitis and fatal purulent infections, especially brain and liver abscesses. [3] [4] Researchers identified the isolates to species that led to 118 cases of infection due to SMG using 16S rRNA gene sequence and biochemical tests.
