Streptococcus is a genus of spherical bacteria that form chains when they grow, and the name comes from the Greek words for "twisted" and "grain" because of their characteristic appearance. These bacteria are important because many species are associated with human infections and disease, making them medically significant organisms.

鏈球菌(学名:Streptococcus)是一類球形的革蘭氏陽性細菌,屬於厚壁菌門的一個屬。這些細菌細胞分裂時總是沿一個軸,所以通常成對或者鏈狀的。因爲這些特徵,他們被稱作“鏈球菌”,區別於可以沿多個軸分裂而形成一团細胞的“葡萄球菌”(Staphylococcus)。鏈球菌屬包含了很多個種,其中多數是在人和动物表皮,呼吸道等处的共生菌(commensal flora),也有对人类有益的菌种如嗜热链球菌(Streptococcus thermophilus),但其中也有相当数量的致病菌种。
