Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive coccus (pl.: cocci) or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota. Cell division in streptococci occurs along a single axis, so as they grow, they tend to form pairs or chains that may appear bent or ...
The term streptococcus (“twisted berry”) refers to the bacteria’s characteristic grouping in chains that resemble a string of beads. Streptococci are microbiologically characterized as gram-positive and nonmotile. Streptococcus contains a variety of species, some of which cause disease in humans and animals, while others are important in ...

Jun 8, 2018 · Streptococcus (strep-toh-kok-ŭs) n. a genus of Gram-positive nonmotile spherical bacteria occurring in chains. Most species are saprophytes, but some are pathogenic. Haemolytic streptococci destroy red blood cells in blood agar and are the cause of many infections, including bacterial endocarditis (α-haemolytic strains) and scarlet fever (β ...
S. zooepidemicus. 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. Cellular division occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, and thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the name from ...

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.
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 ...
