Main Streptococcus groups are included as "Strep." at bottom left. In clinical practice, the most common groups of Streptococcus can be distinguished by simple bench tests, such as the PYR test for group A streptococcus. There are also latex agglutination kits which can distinguish each of the main groups seen in clinical practice.
Three types of bacteria are used in the production of Swiss cheese: Streptococcus thermophilus, [8] Lactobacillus (L. helveticus or L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus), and Propionibacterium (Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermani). [9]

Health agencies are issuing warnings to parents about invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS), a common bacterium that usually causes mild illness but can sometimes result in severe cases and even ...
Streptococcus salivarius is a species of spherical, gram-positive, facultative anaerobic lactic acid bacteria [1] that is both catalase and oxidase negative. S. salivarius colonizes (usually in chains) the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract of humans just a few hours after birth, making further exposure to the bacteria harmless in most circumstances.
Infections caused by the Strep A bacteria can be potentially life-threatening.
