Staph and strep are different germs, and will not be confused by culture in the lab.
Pneumonia Strep Staph
No, they are not identical. Cellulitis can be caused by some strains of staph, but it can also be cause by some strains of Strep.

I am not sure but it is caused by susceptible gm+ve organisms particularly Staph, Strep & pneumococci
I think you mean to say you have a group B strep infection.
Cocci refers to a shape of bacteria, and can take two different forms, staphylococcus and streptococcus. The staph form of the bacteria causes food poisoning, while the strep form of the bacteria can cause strep throat, pink eye, meningitis, and a variety of other illnesses. The staph form doesn't spread unless the person consumes bad food, but the strep form is extremely contagious.
No. B. pertussis is a small, aerobic gram-negative bacterial shaped rod.
strep. pneumoniae Klebsiella H influenzae Neisseria mennigitidis strep. pyogenes bacillus anthracis Psuedomonas S agalactiae Staph. epidermidis E coli Klebsiella Salmonella V parahemolyticus Bacteroids B pertussis L pneumophilia Y pestis F tularensis
Strep throat (caused by streptococci bacteria) Syphilis Staph infections (caused by staphylococci bacteria)
The main difference is that staph infections and strep throat are cause by two different strains of bacteria. Staph infections are caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, and strep is caused by Streptococcus bacteria.
The correct spelling is impetigo and not infintaigo. Impetigo is a skin infection that is very contagious. It is caused by either strep or staph bacteria.
