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

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

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

This organism is normal flora of human intestine and may be pathogenic in humans. This organism will grow in Sodium chloride solution.

This organism can be isolated from many human urinary tract infections, as well as polluted water and sewage. It is commonly identified by its distinctive grape-like smell (trimethylamine) or because it can turn the agar light green due to production of a blue pigment (pyocyanin).
