Peptostreptococcus species are commensal organisms in humans, living predominantly in the mouth, skin, gastrointestinal, vagina and urinary tracts, and are members of the gut microbiota. Under immunosuppressed or traumatic conditions these organisms can become pathogenic , as well as septicemic , harming their host.
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is a species of bacteria belonging to the Peptostreptococcus genus of anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. The cells are small, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. [2] Peptostreptococcus are slow-growing bacteria sometimes resistance to antimicrobial drugs. [3]
Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides spp. are the most frequently recovered isolates at all bone infections, including those caused by bites and cranial infection. Pigmented Prevotella and Porphyromonas spp. are especially common in bite and skull bone infections, whereas members of the B. fragilis group are often found in vascular disease or ...
Clostridioides difficile is a notable human pathogen in this family. Peptostreptococcaceae have been of interest for several other bowel diseases as biological marker or causative agent. Decreased abundance has been reported for Crohn's disease, [8] while the genus Peptostreptococcus appears to be more common in patients diagnosed with ...
Contrary to most of the species in the genus, Anaerococcus octavius was not related to human infections. [9] Nevertheless, recently a new case revealed A. octavius can cause bacteremia. [9] Even though it is uncommon, Anaerococcus octavius can be the cause for human infections. [9]
Gemella morbillorum is a species of bacteria within the genus Gemella. It is a facultative anaerobic [1] Gram positive coccus usually preferring capnophilic or microaerophilic environments. [2] From its discovery in 1917 (by R. Tunnicliff) until 1988, it was known as Streptococcus morbillorum (and briefly as Peptostreptococcus morbillorum [3]).
Species in the genus are part of the human microbiome, especially in the bacteria that form the gut flora. They are part of the flora of the mouth, upper respiratory tract and large intestine. Mezlocillin is an antibiotic that is effective against Peptococcus species. Peptococcus niger is the only species left in the
