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.

This organism is a common environmental isolate, and can be found in soil as well as in industrial settings.

Beta hemolysis on blood. Causes wound infections and septicemia. 

Noted for capsular swelling. Causes pneumonia and urinary tract infections.

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.

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.

Isolated from human urinary tract and wound infections, this organism is identifiable by its characteristic putrefactive odor. 

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

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

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 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.
