cocci
Streptococcus
Classification
Classification of hemolysis (blood plate culture medium)
Alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus--grass-green hemolytic ring--alpha hemolytic--opportunistic pathogens
Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus - completely transparent hemolytic ring - beta hemolysis - strong pathogenicity
Streptococcus G - not hemolytic - generally not pathogenic
Antigen structural classification
According to the different C polysaccharide antigens in the cell wall, they are divided into A, B, and C. About 90% of the strains that are pathogenic to humans belong to group A.
According to the M protein antigen, group A is divided into type 150
Classification of biochemical reactions
Anaerobic - conditional pathogenic bacteria, mainly normal flora in the oral cavity and digestive tract.
Facultative anaerobic - pathogenic bacteria
Aerobic - pathogenic bacteria
Group A Streptococcus Streptococci are the most pathogenic bacteria!
Biological traits
Morphology and staining
Spherical or elliptical, diameter 0.6-1μm, chain-like arrangement, G
No spores, no flagella, pili during early culture, and self-secreted hyaluronidase in later stages makes the capsule disappear.
Hair-like pili: formed by lipoteichoic acid wrapped around the outer layer of M protein.
