This organism is an aerobic organism that is commonly found as part of normal human intestinal flora. It is pathogenic.

This colonial cyanobacteria is structured as several cells bound together in a gelatinous "mucilaginous sheath".

From soil and water rich in minerals. Organism of putrefaction.

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