1. GENERAL PROPERTIES
• Catalase negative
• Gram +ve
• Spherical or Oval Cocci
• Appears in pairs or chains
• 0.7 to 0.9 um in diameter
• causes a wide variety of diseases (fig. 1)

2. PATHOGENICITY
Pathogenic Streptococcus produces several extra cellular substances that contribute to their pathogenicity
![Page 5: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. PATHOGENICITY
1. products that destroy the phagocytic cells & ingest them
2. produces enzymes that digest the connective tissue resulting in extensive tissue destruction
3. can also lyse “Fibrin”

4. CULTURE
• Grow well on blood agar
• There are 3 types of hemolytic reactions produced on blood agar (fig 4 & 5)
1.α -hemolysis
2.β-hemolysis
3.γ-hemolysis

3. SEROLOGY
• Surface Carbohydrate antigens are related to their virulence
• Hence serogrouping termed Lancefield grouping is useful in identification of the more virulent β-hemolytic species
• 20 Lancefield groups are recognized
![Page 13: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MUTANS GROUP
![Page 14: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• originally isolated from human teeth by Clark in 1924
• in 1960 caries were induced experimentally in animals, artificially infected with strains resembling S.mutans
• cells can loose their coccal morphology and appear as cocco-bacilli
![Page 15: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• 9 serotypes have been identified (a-h & k)
• Human isolates are : c,e f and k
• S.mutans have been implicated as the primary pathogen in :
1.enamel caries in children & young adults
2.root surface caries in elderly
![Page 16: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• occupy hard non-shedding surfaces i.e teeth or dentures
• Regularly isolated from dental plaque at carious site, but low prevalence on sound enamel
• opportunistic pathogens (isolated from cases of infective endocarditis)
• communicate with other mutans
![Page 17: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• cell wall carbohydrate antigen (I/II)
• lipoteichoic acid
• lipoproteins
• cell wall associated protein
![Page 18: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Streptococcus mutans
Extracel lular Polysaccharides (glucan, mutan, fructan)
Intracel lular Polysaccharides (glucan, mutan, fructan)
excess sugar
glucosyl and fructosyltransferase
contribute to characteristic colonial morphology
act as carbohydrate reserve, used to produceacid in absence of available sugar
![Page 19: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Salivarius group
![Page 20: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This group consists of two bacterias
1. S. salivarius
2. S. vestibularis
![Page 21: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• salivarius prefer mucosal surface especially the tongue
• produce unusual quantity of extracellular fructan
• rarely isolated from diseased sites
![Page 22: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• S. vestibularis prefers the vestibular mucosa
• no extracellular polysaccharide production
• produces ‘urease’ leading to rise in local pH and hydrogen peroxide
![Page 23: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• Early colonizers of tooth
• produce soluble and insoluble glucans from sucrose
• contribute to plaque formation
• ammonia generation from arginine
![Page 29: Streptococcus mutans & other streptococci](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5579ea09d8b42aa54d8b506e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• S. sanguinis produces a protease that can cleave sIgA
• S. gordonii can bind with salivary amylase enabling the breakdown of starch
