Disease | H00334 Bacterial endocarditis H01443 Viridans group streptococcal infection |
Comment | Produces alpha-hemolysis on blood agar, a characteristic linked to the ability of viridans streptococci to oxidize hemoglobin in erythrocytes by secretion of H2O2. Possesses a remarkable abundance of putative surface proteins, which may permit it to be a primary colonizer of the oral cavity and agent of streptococcal endocarditis and infection in neutropenic patients. Isolated from human dental plaque.
