"Microbiology"

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

Observe a relationship between two organisms that together produce an effect they could not achieve individually.

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. 

All-purpose medium that supports the growth of a variety of microorganisms.

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

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 saliva, sputum, and intestine. No Lancefield group shown, alpha hemolysis.

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

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.

Kocuria rhizophila is also commonly known by the name Micrococcus luteus. This organism is commonly isolated from soil, and is frequently used to test antimicrobial efficacy in the food industry.

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.
