Bacteria help?

Any information you know for sure would be greatly appreciated. Below is a list of bacteria. If you can answer any of the questions about the bacteria, (farther below) that would help, or maybe a website that will help me? Please label the bacteria and questions you answer. You do NOT have to answer all of them cause I know its a lot...just please help with what you know. Iv'e been researching them as well, but I have a list of about 60 to find...Thank you!





Bacteria:


Klebsiella pneumoniae


Streptococcus pneumoniae


Treponema Pallidum (syphillis)


Pseudomonas Aeruginosa


Borrellia burgdorferi


Sprillum voltans


Clostridium Perfingens








Questions to answer about each:





1) What is the species reaction to Gram's staining method?


2) Is the species pathogenic?


3) Symtoms?


4) Treatment?


5) Mode of transportation ( ex. fecal contamination of food/water)


6) Does it make endospores


7) When grown on an agar plate, what is the colony shape/color


8) Does it produce an enzyme/toxin
