Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota. [2] Cell division in streptococci occurs along a single axis , thus when growing they tend to form pairs or chains, which may appear bent or twisted.
Common Gram-positive bacteria identified include species of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Enterococcus. [13] The percentage of gram-positive bacteria responsible has been increasing. [7] [13] A spontaneous fungal infection can often follow a spontaneous bacterial infection that has been treated with antibiotics. [11]
spp. species, as in bacterial species (e.g. Enterobacteriaceae spp.) Sp. fl. spinal fluid (see cerebrospinal fluid) Sp. gr. specific gravity SPS: single point (walking) stick SQ sq: subcutaneous: SR: slow release (see also time release technology (medicine)) Sinus rhythm: SpO 2: peripheral capillary oxygen saturation SROM: spontaneous rupture ...
ESKAPE is an acronym comprising the scientific names of six highly virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens including: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. [1] The acronym is sometimes extended to ESKAPEE to include Escherichia coli. [2]
Pronunciation follows convention outside the medical field, in which acronyms are generally pronounced as if they were a word (JAMA, SIDS), initialisms are generally pronounced as individual letters (DNA, SSRI), and abbreviations generally use the expansion (soln. = "solution", sup. = "superior").
Group A streptococcal infections are a number of infections with Streptococcus pyogenes, a group A streptococcus (GAS). [1] S. pyogenes is a species of beta-hemolytic Gram-positive bacteria that is responsible for a wide range of infections that are mostly common and fairly mild.
ESCAPPM or ESCHAAPPM is a mnemonic for the organisms with inducible beta-lactamase activity that is chromosomally mediated. [1]E: Enterobacter spp. S: Serratia spp. C: Citrobacter freundii
Bacteria (prokaryotes, together with Archaea) share many common features. These commonalities include the lack of a nuclear membrane, unicellularity, division by binary-fission and generally small size. The various species can be differentiated through the comparison of several characteristics, allowing their identification and classification.
