Streptococcus ⇒ Streptococcus gordonii {10000860} Record Keys Parent:Streptococcus Definition:Streptococcus gordonii Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Species Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] [#Streptococcus agalactiae, #Streptococcus anginosus, #Streptococcus oralis, #Streptococcus parasanguinis] - S. anginosus, S. oralis subsp oralis, S. parasanguinis, S. gordonii, and S. agalactiae were associated with coronary #Atherosclerosis. - These species all belong to the viridans group streptococci (VGS), except for S. agalactiae (a β-hemolytic non-VGS). - VGS can enter the bloodstream through mucosal barrier injuries from daily dental care activities and dental procedures, and could also pass the gut barrier when injured. - VGS can invade human aortic endothelial cells and stimulate #Atherosclerosis-related proinflammatory cytokines [1.2] [#Lactobacillus acidophilus, #Lactobacillus jensenii, #Streptococcus mitis, #Streptococcus sanguinis] - Some species in the oral cavity involved in this process produce #Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Known peroxigenic oral bacteria include: #Streptococcus oralis, S. mitis, S. sanguinis, S. gordonii, S. oligofermentans , #Lactobacillus fermentum, L. jensenii, L. acidophilus, L. minutus, and #Bifidobacterium adolescentis [#Streptococcus mitis, #Streptococcus oralis, #Streptococcus salivarius, #Streptococcus sanguinis] [#Alcohol Consumption] - Several oral microbial species such as #Streptococci S. gordonii, S. mitis, S. oralis, S. salivarius, S. sanguinis, and #Candida yeasts possess the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which metabolizes alcohol to #Acetaldehyde, which is indisputably carcinogenic. [1.3] [#Short peptide bacteriocins] - #Subtilosin A, an SPB produced by #Bacillus subtilis, which is capable of exerting strong inhibitory activity against #Streptococcus pyogenes at a very low concentration (1.25 µg/mL), but against Streptococcus gordonii had an MIC value of 83.25 µg/mLReferences Notes[ ]
