Gram- positive bacteria :)

Staphylococcus
The first picture to your are bacteria called Staphylococcus, which are facultative anaerobic prokaryotes whose spherical cells are usually clustered in grapelike arrangements.





Enterococcus
 The Enterococcus bacterium is a normal member of the intestinal microbiota that can cause nosocomial bacteremia, endocarditis, and wound infections.




Bacillus cereus
Bacillus cereus is a soil-dwelling, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, beta hemolytic bacterium which produces toxins. This bacterium causes food poisoning.

The general definition for all the species of Streptococcus is that they are a diverse assemblage of Gram-positive cocci arranged in pairs or chains, as shown in the picture above.
