"VWR"

isolated from human intestine. Lactose positive and sucrose positive after a few days’ growth. Causes a mild form of dysentery.

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

Beta hemolysis on blood. Causes wound infections and septicemia. 

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.

Grows on dead tissues. Novobiocin resistant (S. epidermidis and S. aureus novobiocin sensitive). 

Isolated from milk and udders of cows. Lancefield group B, beta hemolysis. Causes infection of the female genital tract, maternal septicemia, neonatal infections. Camp test positive; resistant to bacitracin.

Lancefield group C, beta hemolysis. Causes strangles in horses. May be pathogenic in humans. Camp test negative; resistant to bacitracin, does not ferment lactose. 

Isolated from the alimentary tract of cows. Lancefield group D, gamma hemolysis. May be pathogenic in humans. 

Found on dental plaque, implicated in cavities. No Lancefield group shown, gamma hemolysis. 

No Lancefield group shown, alpha hemolysis. Bile solubility test positive, optochin sensitive. Causes pneumonia. 

Normal flora of the mouth and throat. Lancefield group K, gamma hemolysis. 

Isolated from human saliva, sputum, and intestine. No Lancefield group shown, alpha hemolysis.
