| streptococcus erythrogenic toxin | A culture filtrate of lysogenised group A strains of beta-haemolytic streptococci, erythrogenic when inoculated into the skin of susceptible persons, and neutralised by antibodies that appear during scarlet fever convalescence; three immunological types (A, B, and C) are recognised. Synonym: Dick test toxin, erythrogenic toxin, scarlet fever erythrogenic toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Streptococcus faecalis | A species found in human faeces and in the intestines of many warm-blooded animals; occasionally found in urinary infections and in blood and heart lesions in cases of subacute endocarditis; associated with European foul brood of bees and with mild outbreaks of food poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus faecalis metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Bacterial metalloproteinase from streptococcus faecalis Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: streptococcus faecalis metalloendopeptidase, metalloproteinase (streptococcus faecalis), sf-metalloproteinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Streptococcus lactis | A species found commonly as a contaminant in milk and dairy products; a common cause of the souring and coagulation of milk; some strains produce nisin, a powerful antibiotic that inhibits the growth of many other Gram-positive organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus lactis R factor | 10-formylpteroic acid;a folic acid factor for certain bacteria. Synonym: SLR factor, Streptococcus lactis R factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus M antigen | The somatic antigen associated with virulence and type specificity of group A streptococci. Synonym: M protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus mitis | A species found in the human mouth, throat, and nasopharynx; ordinarily, it is not considered to be pathogenic, but this organism may be recovered from ulcerated teeth and sinuses and from blood and heart lesions in cases of subacute endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcus mutans | A polysaccharide-producing species of streptococcus isolated from human dental plaque. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcus oralis | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria that is numerous in the mouth and throat. It is a common cause of endocarditis and is also implicated in dental plaque formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcus phages | Viruses whose host is streptococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcus pneumoniae | A gram-positive organism found in the upper respiratory tract, inflammatory exudates, and various body fluids of normal and/or diseased humans and, rarely, domestic animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Streptococcus salivarius | A species found in the human mouth, throat, and nasopharynx. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcus sanguis | A gram-positive organism found in dental plaque, in blood, on heart valves in subacute endocarditis, and infrequently in saliva and throat specimens. L-forms are associated with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcus sobrinus | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from the human tooth surface. Strains have been shown to be cariogenic in experimental animals and may be associated with human dental caries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcus suis | A species of streptococcus isolated from pigs. It is a pathogen of swine but rarely occurs in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
