Streptococcus

//Streptococcus (Group A) Rheumatic Fever//



What is the kingdom of life, that all organisms in it have no nucleus and are single cellular? This is the kingdom of Eubacteria. They use their flagella to get food and can cause many diseases. Some of these diseases include //Bordetella pertussis// (Whooping Cough), //Clostridium perfringens//(Gas Gangrene), //Yershinia pestis// (Bltulism), and //Streptolococus A//(The Scarlet Fever). The Eubacteria Kingdom is made up of unicellular organisms called bacteria. All Eubacteria do not have a cell wall or a nucleus. Organisms that do not have a nucleus are called Prokaryotes. This organism obtains its nutrients by using its flagella to move from place to place to locate its food. Other organisms that belong to the Eubacteria Kingdom are nitrogen-fixing bacteria, E. coli., salmonella, and decomposers.

One species in this kingdom is called Streptococcus or Group A Rheumatic Fever. This disease is bacteria that can be found in the throat and the skin. It can lead to inflammation of heart muscle and can lead to Myocarditis. It can develop into a subtle rheumatic fever and then it can turn into a deathly disease. After Streptococcus leaves the body it can leave sere joint troubles (arthritis) and heart problems.
