Human Bacterial Disease by Gram Positive  Cocci:

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS):

The pathogenic species is Staphylococcus aureus (aure = gold, golden), which causes most hospital-acquired infections. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is a member of the Firmicutes, and is frequently found in the human respiratory tract and on the skin. Although S. aureus is not always pathogenic, it is a common cause of skin infections (e.g. boils), respiratory disease (e.g. sinusitis), and food poisoning. Multiple-drug-resistant strains have develop into such a difficulty due to overuse of antibiotics. Also, keeping your skin too “clean” can wash away the natural “antibiotics” in skin oils, actually making you more susceptible to bacterial infections.

Pneumonia

This is a diplococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae: (pneumo = lungs) which infects the lungs, causing pneumonia, and is spread by coughing.  Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a alpha-hemolytic, aerotolerant, anaerobic member of the genusStreptococcus. A significant human pathogenic bacterium, S. pneumoniae was recognized as a major cause of pneumonia in the late 19th century, and is the subject of many humoral immunity studies.

Drug for gram positive cocci:

Penicillin is successful for most of these, except where do to excess has caused resistant strains. This is particularly a problem with S. aureus in hospitals.

Human Bacterial Disease by Gram negative Cocci:

Gonorrhea:

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (redirect from Neisseria gonorrhea) is a species of Gram-negative coffee bean -shaped diplococci bacteria responsible for the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea.  (gono = seed, generation, offspring; rrhea = flow, current) This disease is a sexually-transmitted disease (STD), and is caused by a bacterium of this type. One symptom is a pussy discharge from the genital area.

Meningitis:

Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. The inflammation may be caused by infection with bacteria, or other microorganisms (meninges, meninx = a membrane [around the brain]; -itis = inflammation) This is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and/or spinal cord, and is life-threatening because of proximity of these membranes to the brain/spine.
