Query: NC_015678:1443178 Streptococcus parasanguinis ATCC 15912 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Streptococcus parasanguinis; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci. This is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, cocci. It has been isolated from human throat, blood and urine and from ovine clinical samples. It can cause subclinical mastitis in sheep and is involved in dental plaque formation in humans

General Information: Streptococcus suis is a pathogen of pigs and is responsible for a variety of diseases including meningitis, arthritis and pneumonia. These infections can have substantial economic impact within the swine industry. Occasionally this organism can infect humans causing septicemia, meningitis and endocarditis. Streptococci are Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, catalase-negative cocci that occur in pairs or chains. Members of this genus vary widely in pathogenic potential. Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes.
