Harmful bacterium (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

streptococcus

(Other definitions for streptococcus that I've seen before include "Bacterium causing sore throat etc" , "Bacterium causing sore throats etc" , "Genus of bacteria" , "Bacterium often causing infection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
