Pus-forming organisms that grow in bunches or clusters are called?

  1. Streptococci

  2. Escherichia coli

  3. Salmonella

  4. Staphylococci

The correct answer is: Staphylococci

Pus-forming organisms that grow in bunches or clusters are called staphylococci. Streptococci, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella are all different types of bacteria, but they do not typically form pus or grow in bunches or clusters. Streptococci usually form long chains, Escherichia coli are rod-shaped, and Salmonella form single colonies. Therefore, D is the most accurate choice for this question.
