Streptococcus pyogenes Research paper MCB 2010C March 17‚ 2014 Nature of Causative Organism Streptococcus pyogenes‚ a group A streptococci‚ is a gram-positive‚ non-spore forming bacteria that can be seen as oval cocci chain forming shapes less than 2 micrometers in diameter under the microscope. It is a facultative anaerobe that can use fermentation for its metabolism. It needs a blood containing medium to grow and exhibits beta-hemolysis. It is a non-motile‚ nonspore forming bacterium.

Preston describes how the primary mode of transmission for Marburg appears to be via close personal contact with an infected individual or their bodily fluids. The virus does have potential to transmit through small-particle aerosols‚ but not airborne. Klaus F. breaks out with Marburg after washing

Equine influenza is a common respiratory infection of horses caused by an orthomyxovirus of the genus Influenza A. Influenza A viruses can be divided into sub-types on the basis of the antigenic reactivity of the surface glycoproteins‚ the haemagglutinin (H1-H16) and the neuraminidase (N1-N9) molecules (Fouchier et al.‚ 2005). Equine influenza (EI) is caused by two subtypes H7N7 and H3N8. Outbreaks due to H7N7 are limited as the isolation of the virus has not been reported since last two decades
