Mini bacteriology post! Yaay!

In which Lancefield group does Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae belong? How do you remember them?

Streptococcus Pyogenes belongs to Lancefield Group A mnemonic:
I remember GAP jeans (Because of the gap company manufactures amazing clothes) - Group A Pyogenes.

Streptococcus Agalactiae belongs to Lancefield Group B mnemonic:
Remember B for Baby. Streptococcus Agalactiae causes meningitis in babies and belongs to Lancefield Group B. Babies also love Galaxy chocolates and stars.

That's all!
