A Discussion on the Life Cycle of Streptococcus Pyogenes

Narrowing to the bacteria kingdom, there is a myriad of species. Staphylococcus and streptococcus are the best genus examples of the kingdom. For instance, in the genus streptococcus, there are different criteria used to differentiate the so many species of the family. The most common method is by the use of Gram stain in which the bacteria can be either stain positive or negative, hence the name Gram positive or Gram negative. Therefore, the paper underscores one type bacteria which is Gram positive cocci called Streptococcus pyogene, revolving around its life cycle (McShan et al 2016). It is for this reason that the bacteria are replicating themselves in a chain of double. This reproduction is asexual because it does not involve mating process between the male and female and is used in very many prokaryotes.

The bacterial species is almost 100% hosted by human beings only that in some instances the only animal reservoir may be the cows. The bacteria in general lacks vector. It can stay in the body without causing harm unless a right media is created. Furthermore, hemolysins in which streptolysins example hemolytic and cytolytic lie. They are responsible in blood hemolysis with one being oxygen unstable and stable respectively. They also need enzymes that help in their propagation deep into tissues through the dissolving actions. The enzymes may include: streptokinase, deoxyribonucleases and hyaloniridases. Moreover, they need bacterial toxins which may play good especially in the cases where antigen marking is done by the T cells of the body. J. , Stevens, D. L. , & Fischetti, V.
