| streptococcus pyogenes | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from skin lesions, blood, inflammatory exudates, and the upper respiratory tract of humans. It is a group a haemolytic streptococcus that can cause scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. Unlike the docile strains that cause strep throat, however, the virulent strains penetrate deep into the body, with catastrophic results. It has been demonstrated that invasive streptococcus a infections can trigger a toxic shock syndrome, chew up muscle (myositis), or destroy the sheath that covers the muscle (fasciitis, necrotizing).

| 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) |
| Streptococcus uberis | A species causing mastitis in cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus viridans | A name applied not to a distinct species but rather to the group of alpha-haemolytic streptococci as a whole; viridans streptococci have been isolated from the mouth and intestines of humans, the intestines of horses, the milk and faeces of cows, milk and milk products, and the sputum and lungs in cases of primary atypical pneumonia.

| Streptococcus zooepidemicus | Former name for Streptococcus equi zooepidemicus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute interstitial pneumonia | A severe and usually fatal form of pneumonia occurring primarily in infants usually considered a form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic pneumonia | Pneumonia occurring in patient with alcoholism, usually after a period of intoxication with stupor, resulting in aspiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anthrax pneumonia | A form of anthrax acquired by inhalation of dust containing Bacillus anthracis; there is an initial chill followed by pain in the back and legs, rapid respiration, dyspnea, cough, fever, rapid pulse, and extreme cardiovascular collapse. Synonym: anthrax pneumonia, ragpicker's disease, ragsorter's disease, rag-sorter's disease, wool-sorter's pneumonia, woolsorter's disease, wool-sorter's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apex pneumonia | Apical pneumonia, pneumonia of the apex or apices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aspiration pneumonia | <chest medicine> Refers to the inappropriate passage of food, water, stomach acid, vomit or another foreign material into the lungs. Aspiration, particularly involving gastric acid, will often result in a serious pneumonia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| atypical pneumonia | <chest medicine> This refers to a type of pneumonia that does not follow the typical signs and symptoms of pneumonia. A number of different viral and bacterial agents have been identified which can cause this form of respiratory infection. Examples include Chlamydia pneumonia, psittacosis, Mycoplasma, influenza A or B, adenovirus and Legionella. Antibiotics will be necessary in all but the mildest cases. Symptoms generally improve in less than 2 weeks. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bacterial pneumonia | Infection of the lung with any of a large variety of bacteria, especially Streptococcus pneumoniae(pneumococcus). (05 Mar 2000) |
