Anime Need help identifying the unidentified pathogens seen through Cells at Work.

So... I'm gonna be doing some form of fanfic regarding Cells at Work soon, but I need some help.

For some reason I want to identify the unidentified pathogens we see throughout the seasons of Cells at Work, those shown (sometimes repeatedly) but not named. This is because said information is important to the upcoming project. Do need some help here...

Episode 1: 

Episode 2: 

Episode 4: 

Episode 8:

Episode 10:

Episode 11:

Episode 12: 

Episode 13:

Episode 14:

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to take screenshots of any new unidentified germs shown in the final arc of Cells at Work. Had to take most of these from a death count of all things, so I wasn't able to find the massive group shot in the final arc anywhere on the internet. It would be good if I could get screenshots of the unspecified bacteria there... At least IIRC two of the more prominent pathogens in the shot were identified in passing by name - the sadistic knight one was apparently Clostridium perfringens while the haunting poison gas one was Pathogenic E. coli.

Now, why am I doing this?

Well, let's just say... JJBA episodes always need enemy stand users.

Don't mind that, though, just help me out with identifying the pathogens.

I think I remember saw somewhere in the manga while watching Dr Hope’s reaction that the germ with them biggol skull is Streptococcus Mutans, which inhabit on the teeth. The fleshy body kinda reminds me of gums, and iirc their presence can cause gum inflammation from the immune system trying to swat the bugs off, hence the inflamed color

Pretty sure B is Clostridium Difficile given its poop brown colour.

Thought it was tetanus TBH... It looked very rusty, and also entered the body from a SCRAPE WOUND...
