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.

Properties:Number of membranes : 1
Presence of a flagella : No
Number of inteins : 0
