Streptococci. Streptococci are Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, catalase-negative cocci that occur in pairs or chains. Members of this genus vary widely in pathogenic potential. Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. The genus is classified on the basis of colony morphology, hemolysis, biochemical More...reactions, and serologic specificity. They are divided into three groups by the type of hemolysis on blood agar plates: beta-hemolytic, alpha-hemolytic or gamma-hemolytic. Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci.Streptococcus equi. Streptococcus equi is comprised of three subspecies equi, zooepidemicus and ruminatorum all of which cause disease in horses, sheep or goats. Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus has also been isolated from clinical cases in humans and other animals. This species is a Lancefield C group bacterium. Less...
