4 Unknown Microbes

A. Non-pigmented (white) colonies on BAP. Gamma hemolysis on blood agar. Poor growth and does not ferment Mannitol. Tolersates bile and hydrolyzes esculin. Groth in 6.5% NaCl broth @ 42c. DNase negative. "S" Novobiocin "S" SXT, though this maybe an error on my part "R" Bacitracin "R" Optochin.
Organism most likely Enterococcus faecalis

B. Pigmented (yellow) colonies on BAP. Beta hemolysis on on BAP. Tolerates NaCl and ferments Mannitol. Tolerates bile but does not hydrolyze esculin. Growth in 6.5% NaCl broth @ 42c. DNase positive. "S" Novobiocin "S" SXT "R" Bacitracin "R" Optochin.
Organism is most likely Staphylococcus aureus

C. Non-pigmented colonies on BAP. Gamma hemolysis on BAP. Tolerates NaCl but does not ferment Mannitol. Tolerates Bile but does not hydrolyze esculin. Growth in 6.5% NaCl broth @42c. DNase positive. "S" Novobiocin "S" SXT "R" Bacitracin "R" Optochin.
Organism is most likely Staphylococcus epidermidis

E. Don't ask where D went cuz I don't know.
Non-pigmented colonies on BAP. Beta hemolysis on BAP. Does not tolerate NaCl and does not ferment Mannitol. Does not tolerate bile and does not hydrolyze esculin. No growth in 6.5% NaCl broth @ 42c. DNase positive. "S" Novobiocin "R" SXT "S" Bacitracin "R" Optochin.
Organism is most likely Streptococcus pyogenes
