I have a catalase negative gram positive bacterium.
Which would be either Streptococcus or Enterococcus.
Then it tested positive for salt growth but negative for fermentation.
I have to choose between S. salivarius, S. agalactiae, S. pneumonia, S. pyogenes, or E. faecalis
I did two confirming tests- gamma hemolysis, and resistant to optochin and bacitracin, also negative for DNAse.
If you have any input on what this unknown bacterium is it would be very helpful!!
Thanks
