What traits will differentiate pathogenic streptococci found in a patient's pharynx from streptococci that are part of the normal microbiota?
Pathogenic streptococci will typically exhibit virulence factors like toxins or adhesins that contribute to their ability to cause infection, while strains within the normal microbiota lack these factors. Pathogenic strains may also show antibiotic resistance or heightened ability to invade host tissues, compared to commensal streptococci. Furthermore, the host immune response to pathogenic streptococci may differ significantly from those elicited by commensal strains.
Are staphylococci bacteria that form a chain?
No, Streptococci are bacteria that form chains.
How does protozoa cause diseases?

What kinds of diseases does streptococci cause?
Streptococci bacteria can cause a variety of diseases, ranging from mild to severe. Common illnesses caused by these bacteria include strep throat, impetigo, and scarlet fever. Certain strains, particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae, can lead to more serious conditions like pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia. Additionally, some groups of streptococci are implicated in post-infectious complications such as rheumatic fever and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
What is the most common cause of meningitis?
Streptococci and E.coli
What does steptococci mean?
Streptococci is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the human body. Some streptococci can cause infections, such as strep throat, pneumonia, and skin infections. Streptococci are classified based on their cell wall components and the specific type can determine the severity of the infection they cause.
