"Human Pathology"

Lancefield group A, beta hemolysis. Sensitive to bacitracin. Causes strep throat, rheumatic fever, and scarlet fever.

Isolated from soil. Forms red pigment (best on high carbohydrate medium) and has oval eccentric spores. 

This organism is commonly recovered from soil and water. As normal intestinal flora, it can also usually be found in sewage.

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

Kocuria rhizophila is also commonly known by the name Micrococcus luteus. This organism is commonly isolated from soil, and is frequently used to test antimicrobial efficacy in the food industry.

This organism is a common inhabitant of intestinal flora, and can be a major cause of urinary tract infection.

A Common Intestinal Flora Isolate, Demonstrates Alpha Hemolysis on Blood Agar Growth Medium

This organism is commonly found in soil and water, and is also associated with spoiled food. It produces a diffusible fluorescent pigment.

This spore-forming, thermophilic organism is commonly used for germicidal and sporicidal testing due to its ability to withstand higher-than-normal temperatures.

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

Both of these strains of Serratia marcescens are colorless mutants when plated alone, but when grown together, they produce a red pigment.

This organism is commonly isolated from soil, and depending upon the temperature of its environment, can produce a distinctive red pigment.

Hemolysis, the rupture of red blood cells, is induced by certain species of streptococcal bacteria that produce extracellular hemolysin.  Observe this phenomenon with this set of 3 non-pathogenic species

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

Penicillium notatum is a deuteromycete that produces penicillin. It is available in normal and high-yield strains.

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