Gram-positive bacteria were the primary cause of sepsis before the introduction of antibiotics in the 1950s. ... in ICD-10, such as "Sepsis due to streptococcus".
Septic shock is a result of a systemic response to infection or multiple infectious causes. The precipitating infections that may lead to septic shock if severe enough include but are not limited to appendicitis, pneumonia, bacteremia, diverticulitis, pyelonephritis, meningitis, pancreatitis, necrotizing fasciitis, MRSA and mesenteric ischemia.
Enterococcus faecalis – formerly classified as part of the group D Streptococcus, is a Gram-positive, commensal bacterium naturally inhabiting the gastrointestinal tracts of humans. [1] [2] Like other species in the genus Enterococcus, E. faecalis is found in healthy humans and can be used as a probiotic. The probiotic strains such as ...
Streptococcus bovis is a group of strains of Gram-positive bacteria, originally described as a species, [5] [6] that in humans is associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, sepsis, [7] and colorectal cancer. [8] S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, [9] and may cause ruminal acidosis.
Aerococcus urinae is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus.The bacterium is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters. Isolates of this genus were originally isolated in 1953 from samples collected in the air and dust of occupied rooms and were distinguished by their tetrad cellular arrangements. [2]
Dolosigranulum pigrum is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus of Dolosigranulum. [1] [2] [3] Dolosigranulum pigrum can cause infections in the upper respiratory tract and nosocomial pneumonia and sepsis. [4] [5] [6] The metabolism of this organism has been reconstructed.
Clostridium septicum is a large, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that is a member of the normal gut flora in humans as well as other animals. [4] C. septicum are spore formers, with a terminal spore that gives them their drumstick-like shape. [5] They are also motile bacteria, using peritrichous flagellae to navigate from one environment to ...
Streptococcus mitis is a species of Gram-positive, mesophilic, alpha-hemolytic bacteria in the genus Streptococcus, belonging to the viridans streptococci group. These bacteria are facultative anaerobes, and made up of non-motile and non-sporing cocci (round cells) that are catalase negative.
