Streptococcus is a widespread genus of Gram-positive bacteria that occurs naturally on the skin, mucous membranes and in the mouth and throat of many people. Some Streptococcus species are part of the normal microbiota and have protective functions, while other types are potentially pathogenic. The genus includes a large number of species with very different characteristics.
The most important representatives include Streptococcus pyogenesknown as the trigger of pharyngitis, scarlet fever or scarlet fever.strong data-end="1443" data-start="1424">wound infections, as well as Streptococcus pneumoniaea common pathogen of pulmonary inflammation and digestive otitis media. Other species such as Streptococcus salivarius or Streptococcus mitis are part of a healthy oral flora and help to protect against pathogenic microorganisms.The balance of the Streptococcus population in the body is crucial for health. Overgrowth of pathogenic streptococci or invasion of normally sterile areas of the body can lead to severe infections. Conversely, certain non-pathogenic Streptococcus species can strengthen the immune defence and even have antimicrobial effects through their metabolic products.
Modern research is investigating how targeted probiotics containing certain Streptococcus strains can have a positive effect on oral and respiratory health. In addition, nutrients such as vitamin C, lactoferrin or nutrients also play a role.strong data-end="2433" data-start="2418">polyphenols play an important role in supporting mucosal immunity and maintaining a healthy microbial balance.
