Streptococci are called gram-positive spherical and oval bacteria that connect into chains of different lengths. Among them, saprophytes are distinguished (they participate in lactic acid fermentation and are used in modern biotechnologies) and symbionites (they bring both benefit and harm to people).
There is also a classification of streptococci according to their ability to lyse red blood cells. So distinguish: alpha, beta, gamma streptococci. Most beta streptococci are the most dangerous for humans. They are also called "pyogenic". Despite this, some of the alpha and gamma bacteria are also constantly present in the human body: oral and enterococci (in the intestines).
Penetrating into the human body, streptococcus, the treatment of which can take a long time, causes many infectious diseases, including tonsillitis and impetigo. That is why the not always visible completion of local inflammatory processes indicates the complete end of the disease. Non-destroyed streptococcus can cause apiogenic complications, the treatment of which must be continued for several more days. In this case, the treatment of a person should be comprehensive. Streptococcus, the symptoms of the disease in which it was detected out of time, can lead to incurable complications. One of them is such a serious disease as glomerulonephritis.
Pathogenic streptococci are the cause of a serious infection, which always has different manifestations. Often there are people who are carriers of these bacteria, who do not get sick, but may well infect another person.
Ways of infection with bacteria are very diverse. Streptococcus on the skin occurs when bacteria enter through existing cracks or other damage to the skin. Routine hand hygiene and timely treatment of injuries will reduce the risk of infection. Sexually transmitted infections are no less common (with an unprotected act). If personal hygiene is not observed, infection of the genitourinary system can occur. Observance of precautionary rules will help to avoid infection in many cases.
Until now, most doctors, having discovered streptococcus, are prescribed antibiotics. Self-medication is fraught with various complications.
Streptococcus, the treatment of which is carried out with the help of a recently popular means of alternative medicine - tsepping (exposure to pathogens with magnetic waves that resonate with the frequencies of microorganisms), completely disappears. With this method of treatment, it is necessary to carefully observe drainage measures. For this, at least 2 liters of pure water should be consumed per day. Along with water, the use of herbal preparations with diuretic properties is allowed.
When treating this disease by any means, it is necessary to take vitamin C (at least 500 mg) for 10 days. Vitamin C deficiency contributes to rheumatic fever. A good effect is the reception of various immunomodulating agents. Among folk remedies, the most effective are such plants:
1. Onions and garlic that destroy streptococci.
2. Tincture of Echinacea purpurea, slowing the growth of bacteria and enhancing immunity.
3. Cherry juice and strawberries, harmful to streptococci.
4. Tincture of common burdock, destroying the bacterium. Take tincture on alcohol (1: 5) is necessary three times a day for a teaspoon.
5. Yarrow destroying non-hemolytic streptococcus. A warm infusion of this herb is taken in 0.5 cups twice a day. The infusion is made of 2 tbsp. tablespoons of herbs and a glass of boiling water.
Nowadays, the drug “Yuglon” (in the form of ointment and water-alcohol solution) is made from walnut. It is used to treat streptococcal skin lesions.
