This organism can be isolated from soil, wounds, and intestinal tracts of humans. It digests protein and is known for its strong, distinctive odor.

This pathogenic organism is sometimes isolated from hay and grass.

This organism is occasionally isolated from soil, but most frequently from smegma- a secretion from male and female genitalia.

This organism can be isolated from many human urinary tract infections, as well as polluted water and sewage. It is commonly identified by its distinctive grape-like smell (trimethylamine) or because it can turn the agar light green due to production of a blue pigment (pyocyanin).
