    The document classifies medically important bacteria into several categories based on their cell structure and lifestyle. It divides bacteria into those with rigid thick cell walls, flexible thin-walled cells, or no cell walls. It further separates bacteria into free-living or non-free living and whether they are gram-positive, gram-negative, acid-fast or lack staining. Specific pathogenic bacteria are called out within these categories such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Neisseria, Clostridium and more.
