The genus Staphylococcus consists of Gram-positive, non-spore-forming cocci that are often found as normal human microbiota of the skin and nasal cavity. There are five organisms to consider as potential human pathogens in this genus:
1. S. aureus
2. S. epidermidis
3. S. saprophiticus
4. S. haemolyticus, and
5. S. hominis.
The major test reaction to use in Staphylococcus identification is the coagulase test reaction, which divides the genus Staphylococcus into 2 groups:
See less1. Coagulase-negative species, and
2. Coagulase-positive species.
The test media that you will run for identification depends on which category your organism falls in.

The clinical manifestations of Neisseria meningitidis can range from transient fever and bacteremia to fulminant disease with death ensuing within hours of the onset of clinical symptoms. It is a common cause of community-acquired bacterial meningitis in both children and adults. Mortality can be very high in patients with meningococcal disease if the infection is not treated appropriately, and long-term sequelae can be severe even in successfully managed cases due primarily to difficulty in managing the endotoxin-induced vascular collapse frequently induced by this organism. The symptoms of Neisseria meningitidis can vary from mild to severe and can include:
– Sudden onset of fever
See less– Headache
– Stiff neck
– Nausea and vomiting
– Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
– Altered mental status (confusion)
– Skin rash
– Seizures

Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria that includes over 30 genera and more than 100 species. The classification of Enterobacteriaceae above the level of family is still a subject of debate, but one classification places it in the order Enterobacterales of the class Gammaproteobacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. Some of the most notable genera of Enterobacteriaceae include Escherichia, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter.
It’s important to note that while Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of bacteria, not all members of the family are pathogenic. Some members of the family are harmless symbionts, while others are found in water or soil, or are parasites on a variety of different animals and plants.
