Which of the following bacteria is Not is a part of the normal human microbiota?

  • A.Streptococcus agalactiae
  • B.Staphylococcus aureus
  • C.Streptococcus pyogens (A)
  • D.Enterococcus faecalis

Answer: C

Correct answer: Streptococcus pyogens (A)

S. pyogenes is regarded as a pathogen rather than a commensal: asymptomatic throat carriage occurs, particularly in children, but it is not part of the established normal flora and its presence is significant. The other three are genuine commensals - S. aureus in the anterior nares, S. agalactiae in the genital and gastrointestinal tracts, E. faecalis in the bowel.
