VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCI
14
Grouping of viridans streptococci
Mitis Mutans Salvarius Angionosis Mitis( hem.) 6 species Endocarditis S.gordonii S.sanguis Hard, adherent & smooth (dextran) 2.Mutans ( hem mostly) Dental caries 3.Salvarius( hem ) 3 species Hard ,large, mucoid colony (extracellular polsaccharide) 4.Angionosis (& ß hem.co2 or anaer.) i.e milleri Abscesses body cavity Butterscotch sweet odor (diacetyl) S.angionosis S.intermedius ,group F S.constellatus ß
15
VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCI
CLINCAL PRESENTATION NF (GIT,UGT&Oral cavity) Opportunistic organisms Dental caries Endocarditis
16
Example of a biofilm Formation of dental plaque by Streptococcus mutans bacteria adhere to the tooth by a protein on the cell surface, grow and synthesize a dextran capsule binds the bacteria to the enamel and forms a biofilm cells of thickness bacteria can cleave sucrose to glucose + fructose glucose is polymerized into an extracellular dextran polymer that cements the bacteria to tooth enamel and becomes the matrix of plaque this dextran slime can be depolymerized to glucose for use as a carbon source, resulting in the production of lactic acid within the plaque that decalcifies the enamel and leads to dental caries
17
Endocarditis Damage ,prosthetic valve SBE Predisposing factor
RHD CHD Mitral valve prolapse Degenerative H diseases PV Pathogenesis Dextran adhere to the damaged valve vegetation(fibrin,bacteria & platelets) Symptoms Fever Murmurs Immunological manifestations O,P,S SBE 2-5 Wks Diagnosis Blood culture ECHO
18
Treatment VGS, NVS, sreptococcus Native valve prosthetic valve PenG
MIC <0.1 ug/mI PenG PenG 6wk +Gentamicin 2wk MIC >0.1 —0.5 ug/mI PenG 4wk +Gentamicin 2wk PenG 6wk + Gentamicin 4wk
19
Microbiology DIRECT SMEAR CULTURE IDENTIFICATION G+ve cocci in chains
Can be OR rarely ß hemolytic Most lack distinct LA IDENTIFICATION Urea VP( acetoin production) Arginine hydrolysis Esculin hydrolysis CHO ferementation

BOVIS GROUP New Name Streptococcus gallolyticus (Group D Streptococci)
28
BOVIS GROUP CLINICAL DIRECT SMEAR Human intestine and animals
Endocarditic Septicemia Link to colon cancer Stool isolation Two biotypes I&II Mannitol and glucan I DIRECT SMEAR G+ve cocci in chains
29
Differed from viridans
CULTURE OR on BAP IDENTIFICATION LG group D Differed from viridans Growth in 40% bile salt Hydrolyze esculin IDENTIFICATION LG group D Differed from viridans Growth in 40% bile salt Hydrolyze esculin No sorbitol fermentation Mannitol and inulin & starch ferm.

How you differentiate S. bovis from enterococcus?
Unable to grow in 45 Co 6.5% 37dC PYR –ve S to penicillin and cephalosporins R to vancomycin(rare) Enterococcus Able to grow in 45 Co 6.5% 37Co PYR +ve S to ampicillin
