Bacteria are prokaryotes (unicellular organisms with no membrane-enclosed nucleus) with simple structures that typically range in size from about 0.5 to 20 micrometers. The following bacteria are amongst those that might infect the throat - Staphylococcus. Streptococcus. Neisseria. N. gonorrhoeae. Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Bacillus anthracis. Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydophila psittaci. Moraxella catarrhalis (Note that up until about ten years ago, M. catarrhalis was called Branhamella catarrhalis.) Bordetella pertussis. Francisella tularensis. Bacteroides fragilis.
Of course, there are more, but maybe this will be sufficient for now.
Hope this helps

Are there other kinds of bacteria besides strep that commonly infect the throat?
Tonsillitis comes to mind with me.
