Streptococci that don't cause a color change or lysis (breakdown) of red blood cells.

A polysaccharide in the cell walls of many streptococci, responsible for the immune response.

A system for classifying streptococci based on variations in their Lancefield antigen.

The most clinically important member of Group A β-hemolytic streptococci, known for causing various infections.

A type of streptococci that causes various infections, including meningitis and pneumonia.

A member of Group B streptococci, commonly found in the vaginal and intestinal tracts.

A group of bacteria that can cause infections, including those in the urinary tract.

A group of streptococci that are part of the normal oral flora, but can contribute to dental caries (cavities).

A potentially serious infection of the heart valves caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream.

The presence of bacteria in the bloodstream

A type of bacterial infection that affects the heart valves and can lead to subacute bacterial endocarditis

An abnormal growth on a heart valve, often composed of fibrin, bacteria, and blood platelets.

A type of bacteria known for causing various infections, including skin infections, food poisoning, and toxic shock syndrome. The most virulent species is Staphylococcus aureus.

A type of bacteria that often causes infections related to medical devices, such as implants and catheters. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common example.

A type of bacterial infection that often occurs in the urinary tract, especially in women. Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a common cause.

A condition often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, characterized by a sudden onset of high fever, low blood pressure, and rash. It can be life-threatening.

A classification system for medically important bacteria based on observable characteristics such as shape and biochemical properties.

A system for naming organisms that utilizes a two-part name; the first part identifies the genus and the second identifies the species.

Bacteria that stain purple with the Gram stain due to the presence of a thick peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall.

A type of Gram-positive bacteria that are spherical in shape.

A genus of Gram-positive cocci that are known for their tendency to form chains of cells.

A type of hemolytic activity displayed by some bacteria, characterized by the partial breakdown of red blood cells in blood agar, resulting in a green discoloration around the bacterial colony.

A type of hemolytic activity displayed by some bacteria, characterized by the complete breakdown of red blood cells in blood agar, resulting in a clear zone around the bacterial colony.

Free-living bacteria that don't require a host cell for survival.

A bacterial genus known for causing diphtheria, a potentially fatal respiratory illness.

A type of anthrax that infects the lungs, often fatal if untreated.

A genus of bacteria, known for causing various illnesses.

A form of botulism where the toxin enters the body through a wound.

Botulism that affects infants due to ingestion of spores from contaminated food or honey.
