Description: | Gram-positive nonmotile bacterium. It is the most common bacterial
cause of acute respiratory infection and otitis media and is
estimated to result in over 3 millions deaths in children every year
worldwide from pneumonia, bacteremia or meningitidis. Even more death
occur among elderly people. Since 1990 the number of
penicillin-resistant strains has increased and many strains are now
resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics such as penicillin,
macrolides and fluoroquinones.
