Streptococcus Pneumonae Pneumonia /pneumococcal pneumonia My little brother was twice a victim of pneumonia and that has motivated me to write on the most common causing bacteria, Streptococcus pneumonia. Streptococcus pneumonia is an alpha hemolytic gram-positive diplococci bacteria and member of the genus- Streptococcus.2 Streptococcus pneumonia is also a facultative anaerobe meaning that it could grow in an environment with or without oxygen. Being a facultative anaerobe bacteria permits the bacteria to be an opportunist that could contaminate human beings in any environment and cause the respiratory infection known as Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia. Streptococcus pneumonia is one of the diseases that poses a threat to human health and population due to the number of deaths associated with this pathogen.1 Streptococcus pneumonia is a bacteria that affects mostly children and elderly people.2 Pneumococcal pneumonia and other…
