The genus is enterococcus more closely related to staphylococcus.

Both are from the Phylum Firmicutes. Both are also causative of infection.

Both can be present and cause infection to surgical wound infections or typical skin infection.

The Genus Lactobacillus may be considered as a good bacteria.
