Streptococcus Pneumonia is pneumonia that results from the strep infection and, yes, it is dangerous, just as any case of pneumonia. It is armed with bacteria and a virus, both, which doubles its seriousness. Bacteria can be killed normally with an antibiotic (unless a person has built up a tolerance to specific ones, rendering them ineffective). However, only anti-viral drugs work to slow down or weaken a virus and may not have any effect at all. This type of sickness is extremely serious due to this reason --- especially for the very young, the very old, and/or weak. This includes those persons who do not have a strong enough immune system to fight off both the bacterial and viral infection caused by Streptococcus Pneumonia for whatever reason.

Bacterial pneumonia, specifically pneumococcal pneumonia (aka Streptococcus pneumoniae).
Pneumonia can be caused by both Streptococcus pneumoniae, often referred to as pneumococcus, and other types of bacteria, including those classified as diplococci. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial cause of pneumonia in adults. The term "diplococcus" refers to bacteria that appear in pairs, and Streptococcus pneumoniae is a type of diplococcus. Other pathogens can also cause pneumonia, including viruses and fungi.
Pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by the gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.

It is a bacteria.They are prokaryotic organisms.
Well... No. Streptococcus is actually a type of bacteria that belongs to the cocci family
The microbe that causes streptococcal diseases is called Streptococcus bacteria. There are different species of Streptococcus that can cause a range of illnesses from strep throat to more serious conditions like pneumonia and sepsis.
Streptococcus pneumoniae IS the scientific name
Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common organism causing pneumonia, produces a death rate of about 5%
