Streptococcus sanguinis, formerly known as Streptococcus sanguis, is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobic [1] coccus species of bacteria and a member of the Viridans Streptococcus group. S. sanguinis is a normal inhabitant of the healthy human mouth where it is particularly found in dental plaque, where it modifies the environment to make it ...

Streptococcus sanguinis is a commensal bacterium that is abundant in the oral biofilm and whose presence is correlated with health. Here, we focus on the mechanism of biofilm formation in S. sanguinis and the interaction of S. sanguinis with caries- and periodontitis-associated pathogens.

Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) is an abundant oral commensal which can cause disseminated human infection if it gains access to the bloodstream. The most important among these diseases is infective endocarditis (IE).

Streptococci are the bacteria which have most frequently been studied in BS since they are the prominent bacteria of oral flora and dental infections. It was previously shown that oral health is impaired in patients with BS and this is related to disease severity [80].

Mar 10, 2024 · Streptococcus sanguinis is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly found in the oral cavity. While it is generally considered a commensal bacterium, it can become opportunistic and contribute to infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions.

Streptococcus sanguinis is a member of the viridans group of streptococci and a leading cause of the life-threatening endovascular disease infective endocarditis. Initial contact with the cardiac infection site is likely mediated by S. sanguinis surface proteins.

Streptococcus sanguinis is a bacterium that naturally resides in the human mouth, playing a role in maintaining oral health. Its presence in the oral microbiome has garnered interest due to its potential benefits and implications for dental care.

Streptococcus sanguinis is a commensal bacterium that is abundant in the oral biofilm and whose presence is correlated with health. Here, we focus on the mechanism of biofilm formation in S. sanguinis and the interaction of S. sanguinis with caries- and periodontitis-associated pathogens.

Feb 19, 2025 · Our overall findings suggest that S. sanguinis EMVs trigger an immune response on gingival epithelial cells; however, this response suggests inhibition of some immune signaling pathways.

Jan 31, 2020 · Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) is an abundant oral commensal which can cause disseminated human infection if it gains access to the bloodstream. The most important among these diseases is infective endocarditis (IE).
