Hi MJ.

Some of the bacterial species you mention I recognise. Just to make
sure, they are species and not strains!

protens myrabilis		=> proteus mirabilis
moraxella catanhallis	=> moraxella catarrhalis
klebsiella aerogens
micrococcus		=> micrococcus luteus
streptococcus viridans

Hope this helps
Arnoud

Hi martin,
I think perhaps the bug you are referring to as Pneumoaptis carium may be
Pneumocystis carynii, Klebsiella aerogenes is the correct spelling,
micrococcus is the genus name form an oxidative gram positive coccus and
streptococcus viridans is usually used to describe a grouping of alpha
haemolytic streptococcus.  Hope this helps
Karen

Hi Martin,

An excellent reference for identifying, isolating etc. bacteria is
"Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology" 1984, Williams & Wilkins.
USA (not Berkey's!).  It comes in two volumes.  I'm curious to know why
you have such a list of misspelt bacteria?!

Isn't the correct genus of aerogenes "enterobacter"?
