Bacteria used for testing:
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that normally lives inside human intestines, where it doesn't cause disease. However, if K. pneumoniae gets into other areas of the body, it can cause a range of different illnesses. These include: Pneumonia (lung infection) Bloodstream infections.
Staphylococcus aureus is the most dangerous of all of the many common staphylococcal bacteria. These bacteria are spread by having direct contact with an infected person, by using a contaminated object, or by inhaling infected droplets dispersed by sneezing or coughing. Skin infections are common, but the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and infect distant organs. Skin infections may cause blisters, abscesses, and redness and swelling in the infected area.
