Are staphylococci bacteria that form a chain?
No, Streptococci are bacteria that form chains.

Pathogenic streptococci will be beta-hemolytic, while others will not.
What organism naturally makes streptokinase?
streptococci
Why cant you use the same selective and differential media for staphylococci and streptococci?
Selective and differential media are designed to support the growth of specific types of bacteria while inhibiting the growth of others. Staphylococci and streptococci have different nutritional and metabolic requirements, so a single selective and differential media may not provide the necessary conditions for both types of bacteria. Each type of bacteria may require specific nutrients, pH levels, or antimicrobial agents for optimal growth and differentiation, which cannot be provided by a single media formulation.

Why do alpha streptococci produce green color on blood agar?
All of the different streptococci are organized into three groups based on how they break down red blood cells, a process called hemolysis. The group of streptococci that perform alpha hemolysis are called alpha streptococci. In alpha hemolysis, the hydrogen peroxide produced by the streptococci oxidizes the blood's hemoglobin, turning it into methemoglobin, which is green in color.
