Are you sterilizing your tools, plates and are you wearing gloves? Also are you making sure your not accidentally contaminating them? What medium are using for growing these said bacteria?

Some agar medium no doubt.

I agree with you, however. This could be an issue of contamination and/or improper delivery of the specimen to the medium.

sneeze on a plate and see what grows.

its from different bacteria...
