Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, and genitourinary tract of humans. It is a commensal in the healthy gut at low abundance but is one of the most clinically significant opportu…

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular budding fungus (ascomycete) ubiquitous in fermentation, brewing, bread-making, and increasingly used as a pharmaceutical probiotic (Hatoum et al. 2012). The strain S. boulardii (also called S. cerevisiae var. boulardii) is the m…

Staphylococcus aureus

A versatile Gram-positive pathogen with one of the best-characterized nutritional immunity evasion systems known. S. aureus requires nickel, iron, zinc, and manganese for virulence and has evolved dedicated acquisition systems for each, including the novel metallophore …

Streptococcus

A genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobes that occupy niches ranging from benign commensals (dental plaque, skin) to acute pathogens (pharyngitis, impetigo, invasive disease). Streptococci are uniquely manganese-dependent for catalytic scavenging of reactive oxygen…

Streptococcus agalactiae

Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that exists in two clinical contexts: (1) as a major neonatal pathogen causing life-threatening meningitis and sepsis in newborns, and (2) as an enric…

Streptococcus pneumoniae

A Gram-positive pathogen (the "pneumococcus") that depends on iron, manganese, and zinc for virulence and has evolved dedicated transport systems for each. Iron is required for viability itself, manganese powers the superoxide dismutase needed to survive the oxidative b…
