Answer:

It could be a Staphylococcus or also called Staphylococcus, due to the disposition it presents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Staphylococci are coconuts (rounded shape) that unite in the form of a bunch of grapes, this is characteristic of them.

It could become a Staphylococ Aureus, since these are usually associated with the most frequent infections in humans, but the possibility that it is another type of the same bacterial family is not ruled out.
