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

Enterococcus faecalis displays gamma haemolysis
It is likewise resistant to both optochin and bacitracin
The rest are alpha or beta haemolytic.
