List of common infections and their effects?

[TheSheeprug]

My last batch was somewhat below par. Not actually off - e.g. not vinegar - but noticably 'harsh' or more bitter than expected. And since it was a GW recipe (Cotleigh Barn Owl), I'm assuming the most obvious cause is some form of infection. Now I know about acetobacter and the disasters it causes, but since there must be a range of other bacterial agents out there I'm wondering (in a sort of 'know the enemy' way) if there's an on-line source of data on other common brewing infections and what effect they have. Any ideas?

Harshness often comes from too high fermentation temp.
