    Study Notes

    Gram-Positive Bacteria

    • Endospore formers include two main types: Clostridium and Bacillus, which have the ability to survive in extreme conditions due to their endospore-forming capabilities.
    • Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are both spherical in shape, but differ in their arrangement: Staphylococci form clusters, while Streptococci form chains.
