Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is produced by alpha-hemolytic streptococci in aerobic conditions. However, the suitable method for detection of HO-producing streptococci in oral microbiota has not been setup. Here we show that o-dianisidine dye and horseradish peroxidase were useful in tryptic soy agar medium to detect and isolate HO-producing bacteria with the detection limit of one target colony in > 10 colony-forming units. As a proof, we isolated the strain HP01 (KCTC 21190) from a saliva sample using the medium and analyzed its characteristics. Further tests showed that the strain HP01 belongs to Streptococcus oralis in the Mitis group and characteristically forms short-chain streptococcal cells with a high capacity of acid tolerance and biofilm formation. The genome analysis revealed divergence of the strain HP01 from the type strains of S. oralis. They showed distinctive phylogenetic distances in their ROS-scavenging proteins, including superoxide dismutase SodA, thioredoxin TrxA, thioredoxin reductase TrxB, thioredoxin-like protein YtpP, and glutaredoxin-like protein NrdH, as well as a large number of antimicrobial resistance genes and horizontally transferred genes. The concatenated ROS-scavenging protein sequence can be used to identify and evaluate Streptococcus species and subspecies based on phylogenetic analysis.
