Random information on the term “STREP”:

Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive coccus (plural cocci), or spherical bacteria, that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Firmicutes.[3] Cell division in streptococci occurs along a single axis, so as they grow they tend to form pairs or chains that may appear bent or twisted. (Contrast with that of staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes, thereby generating irregular grape-like clusters of cells.)

The term was coined in 1877 by Viennese surgeon Albert Theodor Billroth (1829–1894),[4] by combining the prefix “strepto-” (from Ancient Greek: στρεπτός, translit. streptós, lit. 'easily twisted, pliant'[5]), together with the suffix “-coccus” (from Modern Latin: coccus, from Ancient Greek: κόκκος, translit. kókkos, lit. 'grain, seed, berry'.[6])

Most streptococci are oxidase-negative and catalase-negative, and many are facultative anaerobes (capable of growth both aerobically and anaerobically).
