Listeria innocua is a species of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. It is motile, facultatively anaerobic, and non-spore-forming. L. innocua was named innocua (innocuous) because, in contrast to Listeria monocytogenes, it does not readily cause disease in mammals. [1]
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]
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).
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.
Aeromonas is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, bacteria that morphologically resemble members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Most of the 14 described species have been associated with human diseases. The most important pathogens are A. hydrophila, A. caviae, and A. veronii biovar sobria. The organisms are ...
Rothia dentocariosa is a species of Gram-positive, round- to rod-shaped bacteria that is part of the normal community of microbes residing in the mouth and respiratory tract. [ 1 ] First isolated from dental caries , Rothia dentocariosa is largely benign, but does very rarely cause disease.
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 ...
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 ...
