Resumen

BERARDINELLI, Elena María; ROSANOVA, María Teresa  y  LOPARDO, Horacio Ángel. Estreptococos del grupo Streptococcus anginosus Parte IIIb. Infecciones en localizaciones diferentes de las de cabeza y cuello. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.3, pp.361-374. ISSN 0325-2957.

Streptococcus anginosus (SGA) group streptococci are common colonizers of the oropharyngeal, intestinal, and genitourinary mucosa, but they are increasingly recognized as human pathogens. In this part III, tendencies of the EGA to the production of different human pathologies are described. Due to its length, it had to be divided into two other parts (IIIa and IIIb). Its ability to form abscesses in solid organs, especially brain, lung and liver abscesses, is widely known. They also cause sinusitis, empyema and collections in skin and soft tissues, bones, joints, etc. They have been found associated with urinary tract infections, aerobic vaginitis and with pulmonary exacerbations in patients with cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They also cause infections after human bites, disseminated infections, bacteremia without apparent focus and, to a lesser extent, infective endocarditis, generally complicated by perivalvular abscesses. This part IIIb is focused on other than head and neck infections.

Palabras clave : Streptococcus anginosus; Streptococcus constellatus; Streptococcus intermedius; Streptococcus milleri; Clinical manifestations.
