What is Streptococcus?
- A genus of gram-positive, spherical, lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), or coccus (plural cocci) bacteria is known as Streptococcus.
- It belongs to the family Streptococcaceae and the phylum Bacillota.
- Since streptococci divide their cells along a single axis, when they expand, they frequently form pairs or chains that can be bent or twisted.
- This is in contrast to staphylococci, which produce irregular, grape-like clusters of cells by dividing along several axes.
- Most streptococci lack the enzymes oxidase and catalase, and many of them are (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically).
