- Streptococcus reproduces asexually through a process called Binary Fission. This is where the bacteria's DNA replicates and the bacteria splits into two daughter cells.

- Penicillin is a common antibiotic given to patients that have strep throat because the bacteria has not become immune to penicillin.

- Penicillin is a fungus that weakens the cell wall of bacteria, so when bacteria split they burst and die from osmotic pressure.
