Streptococcus anginosus is a species of Streptococcus. [1] This species, Streptococcus intermedius , and Streptococcus constellatus constitute the anginosus group , which is sometimes also referred to as the milleri group after the previously assumed but later refuted idea of a single species Streptococcus milleri .
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.

The vaginal microbiota is shaped by puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Vaginal microbiota including some Lactobacillus species protect the vagina from harmful pathogens. [10] They convert glucose to lactic acid and this acidic environment kills harmful pathogens. The vaginal microbiota in pregnancy varies markedly during the entire time of ...
Streptococcus anginosus in the gut was independently associated with 20% higher odds of stroke after controlling for vascular risk factors. Anaerostipes hadrus—a gut bacteria associated with ...
Peptostreptococcus species are commensal organisms in humans, living predominantly in the mouth, skin, gastrointestinal, vagina and urinary tracts, and are members of the gut microbiota. Under immunosuppressed or traumatic conditions these organisms can become pathogenic , as well as septicemic , harming their host.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The normally predominant species of Lactobacilli are markedly reduced. [ 3 ] This is the list of organisms that are found in the vagina that are associated with bacterial vaginosis , an infectious disease of the vagina caused by ...
Streptococcus anginosus group Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae , within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota . [ 2 ]
The organisms listed below are capable of causing illness if for some reason there is a change in vaginal pH or a change in the ratio of one organism to another. For example, Candida is a normal inhabitant of a healthy reproductive tract but an overgrowth of this organism can cause candidiasis .
