Answer:

  • S. mitis
  • E. coli
  • A. faecalis

Step-by-step explanation:

Fastidious bacteria are heterotrophic beings that require nutrients and vitamins that are specific to their development, and do not grow well in conventional culture media. Examples of such bacteria are S. mitis, E. coli and A. faecalis.

Fastidious means something that is dull, stressful. We say that a bacterium is fastidious because it is not easy to grow in culture media, using dull means to be able to observe them.
