Top Streptococcus Flashcards

Welcome to our streptococcus flashcards! This is a very complex word, but what does it mean? In addition to streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat), certain streptococcus species are responsible for many cases of pinkeye, meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, endocarditis, erysipelas, and necrotizing fasciitis (the 'flesh-eating' bacterial infections). However, many streptococcal species are not pathogenic, and form part of the commensal human microbiota of the mouth, skin, intestine, and upper respiratory tract. Whether you are struggling in your health class or you’re studying to become a doctor, these flashcards can help you learn everything that you need to know about this bacteria.

We have created 3 sets of flashcards to help you understand this topic as well as to help you differentiate between this and other similar types of bacteria. In our first set we cover streptococcus pneumonia. In or second set, we cover the differences in streptococcus and staphylococcus. In our final set, we cover streptococcus and enterococcus.
