    This document provides a flowchart for identifying Gram positive cocci based on their appearance in pairs or chains, catalase test results, and appearance of colonies on sheep blood agar. The flowchart guides the user to test for optochin sensitivity, CAMP reaction, bacitracin sensitivity, and streptolysin O production to differentiate between species of streptococci like S. pneumoniae, S. viridans, S. agalactiae, S. pyogenes, and other streptococcal groups. Based on the results of these tests, the specific Gram positive coccus can be identified.
