Peptostreptococcus
Sign in to savePeptostreptococcus is a genus of anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. The cells are small, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. They typically move using cilia. Peptostreptococcus are slow-growing bacteria with increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Peptostreptococcus is a normal inhabitant of the healthy lower reproductive tract of women.

Peptostreptococcus) — род анаэробных грамположительных неспорообразующих бактерий из семейства Peptostreptococcaceae. Небольшие клетки сферической формы, обнаруживающиеся в виде коротких цепочек. Обычно перемещаются, используя реснички[2]. Пептострептококки — медленно растущие бактерии с повышенной устойчивостью к антимикробным препаратам[3]. Пептострептококки проявляют чувствительность к бета-лактамным антибиотикам[4]. Содержание 1 Патогенез 2 Вирулентность 3 Абдоминальные инфекции 4 Виды 5 Примечания Патогенез Пептострептококки относятся к нормальной микрофлоре человека, обитая в ротовой полости, на коже, в кишечнике (в основном, в толстой кишке) и влагалище[5][6], дыхательных путях здоровых людей, составляя от 13 до 18 % всех встречающихся у человека грамположительных анаэробных кокков. Относится к условно-патогенной микрофлоре, и проявляется при иммунодепресси

== Pathogenesis == 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 can cause brain, liver, breast, and lung abscesses, as well as generalized necrotizing soft tissue infections. They participate in mixed anaerobic infections, a term which is used to describe infections that are caused by multiple bacteria that do not require or may even be harmed by oxygen.
