Streptokokken

kettenbildende kugelförmige Bakterien; Gattung der Familie Streptococcaceae

AI overview

Streptococcus is a genus of spherical bacteria that form chains when they grow, and the name comes from the Greek words for "twisted" and "grain" because of their characteristic appearance. These bacteria are important because many species are associated with human infections and disease, making them medically significant organisms.

Streptokokken (eingedeutschter Plural aus dem lateinischen Singular Streptococcus, der sich aus den beiden altgriechischen Bestandteilen στρεπτός streptós ‚Halskette‘, ‚gedreht‘, ‚kettenförmig‘, und κόκκος kókkos ‚Kern‘, ‚Korn‘, ‚Beere‘, zusammensetzt) sind Bakterien der Gattung Streptococcus aus der Familie der Streptococcaceae, kokkal (annähernd kugelförmig), bevorzugt in Ketten angeordnet, grampositiv und aerotolerant. Erstmals entdeckt wurden sie 1874 von Theodor Billroth (von dem sie auch ihren Namen haben) und Paul Ehrlich als kettenbildende Kokken. Von den in die Gruppen A bis T eingeteilten Streptokokken sind für den Menschen vor allem β-hämolysierende Streptokokken der Gruppe A (GAS) und der Gruppe B (GBS) von Bedeutung.
