Streptococcus is a gram-positive rounded bacterium that makes chains with other bacteria, hence the name streptococcus. It is beta hemolytic, that is, it completely lyses the blood, leaving a clear area around the colony. It belongs to the Lancefield group B class. It is bacitracin resistant. Produces CAMP (not cAMP) factor and can break down Hippurate. Let's study this bacterium.
