This organism is often times isolated from food; in large amounts it can cause food poisoning

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

Isolated from sewage, human intestines, and urinary tract infections. Spreading colonies are seen on agar growth medium. 

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

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.

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

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

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

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