- This speciecies of Streptococcus produces small, white to grey colonies surrounded by beta hemolysis and is sensitive to the antibiotic bacitracin.
- The streptococci that are the dominant normal flora in the upper respiratory tract, cause dental caries, and cause most bacterial endocarditis.
- A group of staphylococci that are normal flora of the skin and are associated with intravascular devices (prosthetic heart valves and intra-arterial or intravenous lines) and shunts.

- Species of Streptococcus showing mucoid, transluscent colonies surrounded by alpha hemolysis and sensitivity to the drug optochin.
- Any pus-filled inflammatory lesions.
- Species of Neisseria causing urethritis in males and females though often asymtomatic in females. May cause PID and sterility.

- Common name for a large, raised, pus-filled, painful nodules having an accumulation of dead, necrotic tissue at the base. The bacteria spread from the hair follicle to adjacent subcutaneous tissue.
- Hemolysis showing , red blood cell-free zone surrounding the colony, where a complete lysis of the red blood cells by the bacterial hemolysins has occurred.
