streptococcusA spherical, gram-positive bacterium of the genus Streptococcus. Although commonly found benignly in the human mouth and gut, and though many species are non-pathogenic, other species can cause diseases including strep throat and more serious conditions.
streptograminAny member of a class of antibiotics that are effective in the treatment of vancomycin-resistant bacteria.
streptogrisinAny of a group of proteases present in Streptomyces griseus
streptokinaseAn enzyme produced by some streptococci which is involved in breaking down red blood cells by activating plasminogen to produce plasmin. It is used to treat blood clots and inflammation.
streptolysinAny of various exotoxins that destroy red blood cells by breaking their membranes, and are produced by certain strains of streptococcus
streptolysisThe breakup of red blood cells by means of streptolysin
streptomonomicinA particular lasso peptide, found in a halophilic actinomycete, that has antibiotic activity
streptomycesAny of several bacteria, of the genus Streptomyces, found in soil, several of which produce antibiotics.
streptomyceteAny bacterium of the family Streptomycetaceae
streptomycinAn aminoglycoside and bactericidal antibiotic C₂₁H₃₉N₇O₁₂ that is produced by a soil actinomycete (Streptomyces griseus), is active against many bacteria, and is administered via intramuscular injection especially in the treatment of infections by gram-negative bacteria. It was the first drug to be successful against tuberculosis but is now chiefly used with other drugs because of its toxic side effects.
streptoneuryA plesiomorphic condition present in all gastropods in which the internal organs have undergone torsion from left to right in order to accommodate the relocation of the mantle cavity close to the animal's head.
streptonigrinA particular antibiotic with anticancer activity.
