- [1.1] [#Streptococcus salivarius]
- For non-small cell #Lung cancer patients, S. salivarius and S. agalactiae react upon gastrointestinal-derived CD4+ T cells and effectively activate monocytes to secrete higher levels of #IL-6, IL-12 and TNF, or so-called, the Th1- and Th17-skewed cytokines - [1.2] [#Pregnancy] [#Lactobacillus gasseri]
- Tvaginal microbiota was mostly consistent with previously reported community sequence types. - #Lactobacillus crispatus was the most abundant organism, followed by #Lactobacillus iners, #Gardnerella vaginalis, #Lactobacillus jensenii, and L. gasseri. - #Enterococcus faecalis was found in nearly 100% of samples, #Pseudomonas tolaasii in all samples, and #Escherichia coli in 83.75% of samples. Streptococcus agalactiae was detected in 74% of samples and is an important pathogen in both mothers and #Infants. - [1.3] [#Streptococcus anginosus, #Streptococcus gordonii, #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
