Peptostreptococcus is a genus of anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. The cells are small, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. They typically move using cilia. [2] Peptostreptococcus are slow-growing bacteria with increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugs. [3]
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is a species of bacteria belonging to the Peptostreptococcus genus of anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. The cells are small, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. [2] Peptostreptococcus are slow-growing bacteria sometimes resistance to antimicrobial drugs. [3]
Gemella morbillorum is a species of bacteria within the genus Gemella. It is a facultative anaerobic [1] Gram positive coccus usually preferring capnophilic or microaerophilic environments. [2] From its discovery in 1917 (by R. Tunnicliff) until 1988, it was known as Streptococcus morbillorum (and briefly as Peptostreptococcus morbillorum [3]).
Anaerococcus is a genus of bacteria. Its type species is Anaerococcus prevotii. [1] These bacteria are Gram-positive and strictly anaerobic. [2] [3] [4] The genus Anaerococcus was proposed in 2001. [2] [4] Its genome was sequenced in August 2009. The genus Anaerococcus is one of six genera classified within the group GPAC (Gram-Positive ...
Peptococcus is a Gram-positive bacterium genus in the family Peptococcaceae. Species in the genus are part of the human microbiome, especially in the bacteria that form the gut flora. They are part of the flora of the mouth, upper respiratory tract and large intestine. Mezlocillin is an antibiotic that is effective against Peptococcus species.
Gram stain (Gram staining or Gram's method), is a method of staining used to classify bacterial species into two large groups: gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. It may also be used to diagnose a fungal infection. [1] The name comes from the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram, who developed the technique in 1884. [2] Gram ...
The Peptostreptococcaceae are a family of Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria in the class Clostridia. A majority of members are identified as obligate anaerobes. The bacteria can be found in humans, vertebrates, manure, soil and hydrothermal vents. Peptostreptococcaceae metabolize via fermentation producing a variety of short-chain fatty acids. [2]
