In 1880, Scottish surgeon Sir Alexander Ogston first described staphylococci in pus from a surgical abscess in a knee joint: “the masses looked like bunches of grapes.” In 1884, German physician Friedrich Julius Rosenbach differentiated the bacteria by the color of their colonies: S.

∙ 14y agoStrep. pyogenes was supposedly first described by Billroth in 1874, who was looking at patients with wound infections and felt a specific pathogen was associated with the problems he was seeing.
Chain forming organisms were isolated by Fehleisen in 1883 from culture of perierysipelas lesions, but it was supposedly Pasteur that specifically isolated the organism from blood culture of a woman with puerperal sepsis.
It wasn't named until 1884 by Rosenbach.
Brown (1919) and Schottmueller (1903) went on to describe haemolysis patterns, and Lancefield then identified streptococcal serogroups in the 1930's.

Is streptococcus a resident biota of the gastrointestinal tract?
It depends on the species. For example, Streptococcus bovis is usually found in the large bowel and it causes infectious endocarditis in people who have some diseases in that organ and have some cardiac abnormality. As for Streptococcus pyogenes, it can be found in the pharynx (throat) of some people as colonizing bacteria, and in others cause disease (amygdalitis), but it's not supposed to be found in most people. Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is the most common cause of pneumonia, sinusitis and otitis media, colonises a large number of infants, and can also cause disease if the conditions are favourable. Streptococcus viridans causes teeth disease and is part of the permanent micro-biota of the mouth; if imbalance occurs, then it can cause some problem. Enterococcus are a group of bacteria that also belongs to the major group of streptococcus, and, as the name says, are found in the large bowel, rarely being a cause of infectious endocarditis or urinary infection (of the bladder).
