No, Streptococcus pneumoniae is not a virus; it is a type of bacteria. Specifically, it is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause various infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis media. It is important to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections, as they require different treatment approaches.
