Subsequent classification, based on carbohydrates present in the cell wall, divides streptococci into the Lancefield groups A through H and K through T (see Table 2: Gram-Positive Cocci: Classification of Streptococci ). Viridans streptococci form a separate group that is difficult to classify.

Many gram-positive cocci are commensal organisms that cause infection only when they find their way into normally sterile areas. They are the most common cause of skin infections and a frequent cause of pneumonia and septicemia.

Staphylococci are gram-positive cocci (about 0.5 to 1.5μm in diameter) occurring singly, in pairs, in tetrads, short chains of three or four cells, or most often in irregular "grape-like" clusters. Their name is derived from their latter frequent formation stemming from the Greek "staphylos" meaning grape.
