The genus Streptococcus is comprised of a variety of pathogenic and commensal bacteria with broad importance in both medicine and industry. The genus Streptococcus is comprised of a wide variety of both pathogenic and commensal gram positive bacteria which are found to inhabit a wide range of hosts, including humans, horses, pigs and cows. Within the host, streptococci are often found to colonize the mucosal surfaces of the mouth, nares and pharynx. However, in certain circumstances, they may also inhabit the skin, heart or muscle tissue. Streptococci are often important as part of animal natural flora, but under the right circumstance can cause disease. Streptococci are classified largely according to the various serogroups. Group A and B streptococci have particular importance in medicine as they can cause severe infections.
