Here are 10 commonly isolated organisms seen in the lab. Make an
algorithm of testing that can be used to separate each organism.
Use first gram stain characteristics and shapes. As appropriate,
use tests such as catalase and coagulase, hemolysis, and the other
tests to separate out the gram positives. For the gram negatives
start with growth on MacConkey media, and then oxidase and indole
reactions.
