Lactobacillus acidophilus (Neo-Latin 'acid-loving milk-bacillus') is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, homofermentative, anaerobic microbe first isolated from infant feces in the year 1900. [1] The species is commonly found in humans, specifically the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity as well as some speciality fermented foods such as fermented ...
The name Cytobacillus can be broken down into the prefix "cyto-" (from the Greek noun kytos, referring to hollow, vessel, jar or a cell in biology) and the suffix "-bacillus" (from the Latin noun bacillus, referring to a small staff or rod and Bacillus, the bacterial genus). Together, Cytobacillus refers to a rod-shaped cell.
A bacillus (pl.: bacilli), also called a bacilliform bacterium or often just a rod (when the context makes the sense clear), is a rod-shaped bacterium or archaeon. Bacilli are found in many different taxonomic groups of bacteria. However, the name Bacillus, capitalized and italicized, refers to a specific genus of bacteria.
Human microbiota are microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea) found in a specific environment. They can be found in the stomach, intestines, skin, genitals and other parts of the body. [1] Various body parts have diverse microorganisms. Some microbes are specific to certain body parts and others are associated with many microbiomes.
Nocardia as found on a brain biopsy.. Nocardia is a genus of weakly staining Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria.It forms partially acid-fast beaded branching filaments (appearing similar to fungi, but being truly bacteria).
Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. It is a rod shaped, aerobic and motile bacteria, which is able to migrate across surfaces due its “swarming” characteristic in temperatures between 20 and 37 °C. [1] Their size generally ranges from 0.4 to 0.8 μm in diameter and 1.0–3.0 μm in length. They tend to have an ammonia smell. [2]
Delftia acidovorans is a saprophyte, [6] Gram-negative, non-sporulating, non-denitrifying, non-fermentative rod shaped bacterium. [1] It exists as a single cell or in pairs that are 0.4-0.8 μm wide and 2.5-4.1 μm long. [1] It is motile through polar, or bipolar, tufts of flagella. [1] Tufts can have one to five flagella. [1]
Clostridium septicum is a large, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that is a member of the normal gut flora in humans as well as other animals. [4] C. septicum are spore formers, with a terminal spore that gives them their drumstick-like shape. [5] They are also motile bacteria, using peritrichous flagellae to navigate from one environment to ...
