The scientific name for gram-positive bacteria is not a single name, as this category includes various genera and species. Gram-positive bacteria are characterized by their thick peptidoglycan cell wall and retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure. Common examples include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Bacillus anthracis. Each of these names refers to a specific type of gram-positive bacterium.

What name the 3 types of bacteria?

There are many types of bacteria. It depends on what you are looking at as "type". There are cocci, bacilli, spirchetes (among other shapes) all referring to the shape of the bacteria. Of those they may be Gram positive or Gram Negative. There are anaerobes, aerobes, microaerophillic, and falcultative - all referring to the oxygen requirements of the bacteria. There are many other "types", but I would go with shape and Gram +/- such as "Gram + Cocci" as one type.
