Streptococcus pyogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium that strictly infects humans. It is the causative agent of a broad spectrum of diseases accounting for millions of infections and at least 517,000 deaths each year worldwide. It is a nutritionally fastidious organism that ferments sugars to produce lactic acid and has strict requirements for growth. To aid in the study of this organism, this unit describes the growth and maintenance of S. pyogenes.
化脓性链球菌是一种严格感染人类的革兰氏阳性细菌。它是多种疾病的病原体，全球每年导致数百万例感染，至少51.7万人死亡。它是一种营养苛求型微生物，能发酵糖类产生乳酸，对生长有严格要求。为了辅助对这种微生物的研究，本单元描述了化脓性链球菌的培养和保存方法。
