You've asked two questions: Streptocuccus isn't a virus; it's a bacterium. As such, it meets all the 19th century criteria for life: eats, excretes, multiplies. So yes -- it's alive. A virus is another matter. As virii typically modify the cell to produce more virii instead of more familiar reproduction methods, it doesn't exactly multiply, and there's a question about it excreting too. So, while old school thought tihnks a virus may be alive, more modern thinking is beginning to question the definition of life as it applies here.
