Peptostreptococcaceae. The Peptostreptococcaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria in the class Clostridia . Several members of the Peptostreptococcaceae are well known inhabitants of the digestive tract. Microbiome studies of animal feces have corroborated this. Notably, an unclassified group of Peptostreptococcaceae has been reported ...

The Streptococcaceae are distinguished from the Micrococcaceae in that the former are catalase negative and the latter are catalase positive. In the Streptococcaceae family, only streptococci and aerococci are regularly isolated from specimens of human origin (see Table 2.1). There have been recent taxonomic changes in the family Streptococcaceae.
The nomenclature for streptococci, especially the nomenclature in medical use, has been based largely on serogroup identification of cell wall components rather than on species names. For several decades, interest has focused on two major species that cause severe infections: S pyogenes (group A streptococci) and S pneumoniae (pneumococci).
Streptococcus is a genus of spherical Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes and the lactic acid bacteria group. They are cocci, meaning that they are shaped like spheres or circles.
