E. coli is a gram-negative bacteria.
S. aureus is a gram-positive coccus. It is a coccus because its shape is round (from the Greek kokkos=grain).

name of bacteria in food?
Hundreds of species of bacteria can be found in food. Some names are: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus lugdenenis, Urea plasma urealyticum, Francisella tularensis and E. coli.
What types antibotics are Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli suseptible to?
Most strains of Staphylococcus aureus are susceptible to vancomycin and have not yet built up a resistance. Some strains are still susceptible to penicillin and other antibiotics so it really depends on the strain.Most strains of E. coli are susceptible to amoxicillin and many cephalosporins. This also depends on the strain because some are resistant and some are susceptible.
What is the name of a super bug?
Mycobacterium tuberculosis - Klebsiella pneumoniae - Acinetobacter baumannii - Salmonella and E. coli - Clostridium difficile - Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Streptococcus and Enterococcus - Staphylococcus aureus .
Is staphylococcus aureus acid fast?
No. in comparison to M. smegmatis which is acid fast positive. e. coli will appear blue when tested with the Zeihl-Neelsen acid fast stain
Is E. coli mannitol positive?
no it doesn't
What are the differences between staphylococcus aureus and enterococcus faecalis biochemical tests?
E.coli is a gram negative rod mostly isolated from urine while staph is a gram positive cocci. You can differentiate them by color. E. Coli is Pink which is negative while Staph is Purple with is positive.
What bacteria causes severe food poisoning?
E.COLI and Salmonella causes food poison.
What shape are pathogenic bacteria?
There are several shapes...rods (E. coli, Bacillus), cocci (staph aureus), spiral (helicobacter pylori)
What the purpose of mannitol salt?
The purpose is to select for salt-tolerant microbes. Most species of microbes can't grow in such a salty environment. The only genus that can culture on an MSA plate is Staphylococcus. The only species of Staphylococcus that can ferment Mannitol is Staph. Aureus. If the plate turns yellow, you know that Mannitol was fermented into an acid, which only Staph. Aureus can do. If there is a little growth (aka the culture is red) then it's still most likely a species of Staph such as Staph. epidermidis. If there is no growth, as in E. coli, then there will be no culture and no change in color.
How big is a staphylococcus?
They are smaller than other cells but bigger than viruses.Bacteria range in size from 0.2-2 microns in width or diameter, and up to 1-10 microns in length for the nonspherical species. The largest known bacterium is Thiomargarita namibiensis, with spheroidal diameters from 100-750 microns. Spherical bacteria as small as 50-500 nm in diameter have been reported.Robert A. Freitas Jr., Ralph C. Merkle, Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines, Landes Bioscience, Georgetown, TX, 2004 small
What microorganism is e coli?
The microorganism is called Escherichia coli, and is usually abbreiviated "E. coli". The organism is classified as a gram negative bacterium, and it is rod-shaped. It normally lives in the gut of mammals. See the wiki page on Escherichia coli for more info.
What are some names of bad microbes?
S. aureus, E. coli, P. auriginosa, Salmonella typhi, Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholera.
