    Phytotherapy for Streptococcus mitis

    The most common cause of gum disease is lack of observance of oral hygiene and the accumulation of bacterial plaque, followed by dental mass, food intake and dental restorations. Bacterial agents which cause dental plaque formation and ultimately cause tooth decay. Streptococcus mitis is the greatest bacterial agent isolated from dental plaque. Medicinal plants are rich in substances whose pharmacological properties are applied through potent antioxidant and bioactive substances. We tried to report medicinal plants with anti-Streptococcus mitis properties in this reviewing study. Searching in this reviewing study was done with words such as Streptococcus mitis, dental diseases, medical plants and phytotherapy. Searching was done from databases such as Scopus, ISC, SID, Magiran and several other databases. Accordingly, 9 medical plants effective on Streptococcus mitis are used. According to obtained results, it was determined that Cinnamomum cassia, Spilanthes calva, Azardirachta indica, Acacia nilotica, Ocimum basilicum, Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellirica, Syzygium cuminii and Syzygium aromaticum medicinal plants are the most important medicinal plants with anti-Streptococcus mytises effects. Medicinal plants of this study have anti-Streptococcus mitis effects due to bioactive substances, antioxidants, flavonoids, flavones, anthocyanins, etc. © 2017, Pharmainfo Publications.

    69. Formica mitis. B.M. Worker. Length 3 1/2 lines.-The head, scape and abdomen fusco-testaceous. The head oblong, not wider than thorax; the eyes ovate, of moderate size, placed high on the sides of the head; the clypeus carinate in the middle, the anterior margin rounded; the clypeus paler than the vertex. Thorax elongate, much compressed behind; the disk of the thorax arched lengthways; the legs palest at their base and apex; the scale of the peduncle somewhat conical, pointed above; the base of the abdomen pale, the margins of the segments fringed with a few long pale hairs.

    Camponotus mitis var. variegatus

    55. - mitis, var. variegatus F. Sm. Cette forme a ete decrite comme espece par F. Smith sur des exemplaires de Ceylan. Je crois la reconnaitre dans une Fourmi que j'ai recue autrefois de cette ile (Trincomalee, M. Fristedt). M. E. Simon en a pris un exemplaire a Kandy. C'est une forme du groupe maculatus, fort voisine de mitis, mais differant par sa tete a ponctuation un peu moins profonde, la pilosite moins abondante des joues et la pubescence des scapes et des tibias, qui est plus courte et plus couchee. La couleur est d'un jaune testace, avec les. trois derniers segments dorsaux de l'abdomen bruns, sauf une bande nuageuse interrompue sur le 3 e segment; le 2 e segment est testace, avec une tache mediane posterieure brune; le 1 er segment entierement testace. La tete des grandes [[worker]] est plus ou moins rembrunie par devant. Je considere cette Fourmi comme une variete de mitis; par sa coloration, elle se rapproche de C. Comottoi. Une [[queen]] de Mahe (Malabar), que je rapporte a cette variete, a la couleur de la [[queen]] de mitis, mais le 1 er segment de l'abdomen est jaune, avec une tache basale brune; le 2 e a une paire de taches jaunes sur les cotes; une toute petite tache de la meme couleur de chaque cote du ' 3 e segment.Published as part of Emery, C., 1893, Voyage de M.

    DNA isolation methods for Nanopore sequencing of the Streptococcus mitis genome

    No full text
    Streptococcus mitis is a Gram-positive bacterium, member of the oral commensal microbiota, which can occasionally be the etiologic agent of diseases such as infective endocarditis, bacteraemia and septicaemia. The highly recombinogenic and repetitive nature of the S. mitis genome impairs the assembly of a complete genome relying only on short sequencing reads. Oxford Nanopore sequencing can overcome this limitation by generating long reads, enabling the resolution of genomic repeated regions and the assembly of a complete genome sequence. Since the output of a Nanopore sequencing run is strongly influenced by genomic DNA quality and molecular weight, the DNA isolation is the crucial step for an optimal sequencing run. In the present work, we have set up and compared three DNA isolation methods on two S. mitis strains, evaluating their capability of preserving genomic DNA integrity and purity. Sequencing of DNA isolated with a mechanical lysis-based method, despite being cheaper and quicker, did not generate ultra-long reads (maximum read length of 59516 bases) and did not allow the assembly of a circular complete genome. Two methods based on enzymatic lysis of the bacterial cell wall, followed by either (i) a modified CTAB DNA isolation procedure, or (ii) a DNA purification after osmotic lysis of the protoplasts allowed the sequencing of ultra-long reads up to 107294 and 181199 bases in length, respectively. The reconstruction of a circular complete genome was possible sequencing DNAs isolated using the enzymatic lysis-based methods
