Hi
Streptococcus pyogenes is a species of gram+ve bacteria. It is a human pathogen foming common infections of skin. It causes pus formation hence the pyo. The bacteria is cocci round in shape. it occurs in long chains of attached cocci. It is an aerotolerant ,non motile and non spore forming bacteria.
This is unicellular ,devoid of nuclear membrane, organelles exept ribosomes and has a single circular genetic material. Hence it is prokaryote and a bacteria. It belongs to phylum fermicutes as it is gram + ve cell wall, a cocci or rod shaped. It produces lactic acid so it is classified under the order lactobacillales. The overall taxonomy is as follows:
Domain : Prokaryotes
Kingdom: bacteria
Phylum: Firmicutes
Class: bacilli
Order: Lactobacillales
Family: Streptococcaceae
Genus: Streptococcus
Species: Streptococcus pyogenes

Streptococcus pyogenes produces peptidases that lower neutrophil recruitment to the site of infection. These peptidases degrade C5a, and by lowering recruitment of neutrophils to the site of infection S. pyogenes gives itself more time to divide.

Case study 8-year old girl with recurrent infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and Hemophilus influenza was admitted to the hospital following a 5-day sinus infection. Her mother noted that she had developed a productive cough and high fever. Her white blood cell count was 3200/ul (normal count 5000-9000/ul). 25% percent of her white cells were neutrophils (very low), 40% were lymphocytes (normal), and 29% were monocytes (elevated, normal 2 to 8%). A serum test revealed that her IgG level was...
