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.
In vitro, it inhibits the growth of Diplococcus pneumoniae and other bacteria and delays the deterioration of embryonic renal cells caused by a virus.
Pneumococcus is really Streptococcus Pneumoniae and it has a lancet shape and is often paired (which is why it's called a diplococcus, di=two).
The genus is Mycoplasma and the species is pneumoniae. It's binomial name is Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
possibly it causes pneumonia, so you could say it causes pneumonia. pneumococcus
Diplococcus bacteria are typically small, spherical-shaped organisms ranging from about 0.5 to 1.0 micrometers in diameter. They often appear in pairs, hence the name "diplococcus." These bacteria can be found in various environments and can be associated with certain infections in humans, such as pneumonia.
Yes, diplococcus bacteria, specifically Neisseria meningitidis, can cause meningitis. This bacterium is known to lead to bacterial meningitis, which is a serious infection of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Meningococcal meningitis can result in severe health complications and requires prompt medical treatment. Other types of diplococci, like Streptococcus pneumoniae, can also cause meningitis.
Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most common organism causing pneumonia, produces a death rate of about 5%
Streptococcus pneumoniae IS the scientific name
It is responsible for 10-20% of all pneumonias
