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.

Preserved specimens in resin material.

Ward’s® PURE Preserved Specimens - the best dissection experience from start to finish.

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. 

Ideally priced for cranial comparison.

Formaldehyde-free preserved fetal pigs.

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
