SPECIES INFO
Staphyloccus epidermis is normally seen with the cocci in clusters. This bacteria can cause some skin diseases and some contamination.

The Bergey's Manual gives us a methodology of some preliminary divisions of Bacteria. This is group (12) of aerobic and anaetobic non spore forming and pus forming bacteria. Strep throat and puerperal fever are caused by this group.

Eubacteria, the true Bacteria, is the group that contains most of the Bacteria that impact on our daily lives. Some of the diseases caused by Bacteria are: Cholera, Lyme Disease, Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Syphilis, and Gonorrhea.

Science has only begun the task or properly organizing this group of lifeforms into a taxonomy tree. The medical profession has begun with the disease causing organisms and has worked from the bottom up. They have been using various shapes and various forms of locomotion for criteria. On the other micro-biologists have been working from the top down. The result is a large open area in the middle. Here we have arbitrarily used the Bergey system for organizing disease causing bacteria in the first several classes, and have placed the algae groups in the higher classes.

Monera phylum includes the various bacteria. These are somewhat cellular organisms, but they lack a cell nucleus. Many of these organisms cause serious illness in humans. The diseases include Botulishm, Cholera, Diptheria, Gonorrhea, Lyme Disease, Plagues, Salmonellosis, Syphilis, Tetanus, Typhoid, and TB.
