Blood agar; (Haemolysis) Erythrocytes partially lysed, leaves a green ring
Non Lancfield Groupable
Streptococci pneumoniae
Most comman cause of pneumonia. Can cause Meningitis in elderly and middle ear infections
Viridans
S. mutans
Produce acid, causes dental caries
Beta
Fully Haemolytic (haemolysis) Leaves clear ring

Exotoxins break down fibrin and Hyaluronic acid
Means that it spreads through skin and connective tissue, causes, Cellulitis/necrotising
