Streptococcus Species and Disease Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6178
The Streptococcus Species and Disease Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates key Streptococcus species, their hemolysis patterns, and associated diseases.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain how hemolysis on blood agar helps classify streptococci and correlates with clinical disease.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Streptococcus pyogenes | Group A, beta-hemolytic; causes pharyngitis, scarlet fever, and post-infectious rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis |
| Streptococcus pneumoniae | Alpha-hemolytic; a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis media |
| Streptococcus agalactiae | Group B, beta-hemolytic; a major cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis |
| Viridans Group Streptococci | Alpha-hemolytic; part of normal oral flora but can cause infective endocarditis |
| Hemolysis Patterns | Beta-hemolysis causes complete clearing, alpha-hemolysis causes partial greenish clearing, and gamma indicates no hemolysis on blood agar |
Key Features
- Illustrates key Streptococcus species and their disease associations
- Shows alpha, beta, and gamma hemolysis patterns on blood agar
- Explains the clinical significance of Group A and Group B streptococci
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Streptococcus Species and Disease Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates key Streptococcus species, their hemolysis patterns, and the diseases they cause.
Q2. What disease does Streptococcus pyogenes cause?
A. It causes pharyngitis, scarlet fever, and can lead to rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis after infection.
Q3. Which Streptococcus species causes neonatal sepsis?
A. Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus) is a major cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis.
Q4. What is the difference between alpha and beta hemolysis?
A. Beta-hemolysis causes complete clearing around colonies on blood agar, while alpha-hemolysis causes partial greenish discoloration.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study streptococcal species and disease.
