Abstract: Background. Commensal streptococci are common inhabitants of the oral microbiome and regulate its structure and function in beneficial ways for human health. They can, however, also be opportunistic pathogens and act as a reservoir of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00196-25
Abstract: ABSTRACT Streptococci colonize various human body sites, both as commensals and as pathogens. They are early gut colonizers, but we lack strain-level information about the origin and persistence of streptococci in the non-diseased gut. To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00115-19
Abstract: The streptococci are increasingly recognized as a core component of the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung microbiome, yet the role that they play in CF lung disease is unclear. The presence of the Streptococcus milleri group… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00227-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT As a biological byproduct from both humans and microbes, glycerol’s contribution to microbial homeostasis in the oral cavity remains understudied. In this study, we examined glycerol metabolism by Streptococcus sanguinis, a commensal associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00160-23
Abstract: NBHS are recognized as opportunistic pathogens particularly involved in infections of the elderly and immunocompromised patients. This study underlines their importance as common causes of severe and difficult-to-treat infections such as endocarditis. ABSTRACT Non-beta-hemolytic streptococci… read more here.

Competence shut-off by intracellular pheromone degradation in salivarius streptococci

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010198
Abstract: Competence for DNA transformation is a major strategy for bacterial adaptation and survival. Yet, this successful tactic is energy-consuming, shifts dramatically the metabolism, and transitory impairs the regular cell-cycle. In streptococci, complex regulatory pathways control… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ma14112730
Abstract: Periodontitis, an infectious disease originating from dental biofilms that causes the irreversible loss of alveolar bone, is accompanied by gradual biofilm formation and the continuous progression of inflammation. A small peptide derived from penetratin, Arg-Gln-Ile-Arg-Arg-Trp-Trp-Gln-Arg-NH2… read more here.
