staphylococcus
a berry-shaped bacterium, grows in twisted chains. One group causes such conditions as “strep throat”, tonsillitis, rheumatic fever, and certain kidney ailments, whereas another group causes infections in teeth, in sinuses (cavities) of the nose and face, and in the valves of the heart.
staphylococcus
berry shaped bacteria, grow in small clusters like grapes. Lesions may be external (skin abscess, boils, styes) or internal (abscesses in bone and kidney)
