Encyclopedia > Streptococcus salivarius

Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus is a streptococcus bacteria used to produce yogurt and some cheeses. It works symbiotically with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.[1] Both are homofermentative, produce lactic acid quantitatively in addition to carbon dioxide and alcohol. The optimum temperature for their growth is about 42°C. Species S. faecalis S. pneumoniae S. pyogenes S. suis S. viridans Streptococcus is a genus of spherical, Gram-positive bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes. ...

Yoghurt Yoghurt or yogurt, less commonly yoghourt or yogourt, is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. ... Cheese is a solid food made from the curdled milk of cows, goats, sheep, or other mammals. ... Lactic acid (α-hydroxypropanoic acid) is a chemical compound that plays a role in several biochemical processes. ... Carbon dioxide is an atmospheric gas comprised of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. ... In general usage, alcohol (from Arabic al-ghawl الغول) refers almost always to ethanol, also known as grain alcohol, and often to any beverage that contains ethanol (see alcoholic beverage). ...


Streptococcus salivarius colonizes the mouth and upper respiratory tract of people just a few hours after birth, making further exposure to the bacteria harmless. The bacteria does have some negative effects, though, playing a major role in tooth decay and, rarely, finding its way into the bloodstream, where it has been implicated in septicemia cases in people with neutropenia. [2] Types of teeth Molars are used for grinding up foods Carnassials are used for slicing food. ... Sepsis (in Greek Σήψις) is a serious medical condition caused by a severe systemic infection leading to a systemic inflammatory response. ... It has been suggested that Agranulocytosis be merged into this article or section. ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae causes 95 percent of all bacterial pneumonia.
An enzyme on the cell surface of Streptococcus mutans, glycosyl transferase, is apparently involved in initial attachment of the bacterial cells to the tooth surface and in the conversion of sucrose to dextran and levan polymers (glucans) which form the extracellular matrix of plaque.
Streptococcus mutans appears to be important in the initiation of dental caries because its activities lead to colonization of the tooth surfaces, plaque formation, and localized demineralization of tooth enamel.
