Is pneumonia gram postitive?
I assume you mean bacterial pneumonia, from there it is dependent on what type of bacteria is causing the pneumonia. For example Streptococcus pneumoniae is gram positive, but Klebsiella pneumoniae gram negative.On the whole though, bacterial pneumonia is more typically caused by gram positive bacteria.
Is the vaccine for pneumonia the same as the vaccine pneumococcal?
Pneumonia is a medical illness (an infection of the lungs) caused by a variety of pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi). Pneumococcus (full name Streptococcus Pneumoniae) is a bacteria and a common cause of pneumonia. Therefore vaccination against Pneumococcus will prevent some, but not all pneumonias.
Is pneumonia caused by a prokaryotic organism or a eukaryotic organism?
It depends on what is causing the pneumonia. There are bacterial causes of pneumonia such as streptococcus pneumoniae and bacteria are prokaryotic. Viruses can also cause pneumonia and are not really considered prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Fungi are eukaryotes and can also cause pneumonia.
Is streptococcus pneumonia a archaebacteria or a eubacteria?
This is Strep Throat and Meningitis. It is a eubacteria, meaning that it is a more recent bacteria. The bacteria Streptococcus is a spherical Gram-positive bacteria that causes Strep Throat. Streptococcus comes in several groups, but Strep Throat is in Group A. These bacteria can also cause meningitis, pneumonia, and "flesh eating" bacterial infections. The bacteria are not like viruses. Instead of injecting genetic material into the cell, the bacteria live without a host cell. They will form a long string and sit on the back of the throat or mouth. This is what forms the white blotches or spots seen when a person has Strep Throat. Streptococcus is a spherical-shaped bacterium that forms small chains. The word -coccus is Latin for circle or sphere. Bacteria can come in many shapes, like spiral or rod shaped. This distinguishes bacteria from one another. Streptococcus also has pili, which are used to exchange genetic material. Streptococcus is a prokaryote, which means it has no nucleus. Yet, this bacteria has DNA and ribosomes. Streptococcus contains a flagellum, allowing the bacteria to move.
What does streptococcus pneumonia eat?
