Spirillum is a of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Spirillaceae of the Nitrosomonadales of the Betaproteobacteria. [1] [2] [3] There are two species of Spirillum with validly or effectively published names - Spirillum winogradskyi and Spirillum volutans.
Sodoku is a bacterial zoonotic disease. It is caused by the Gram-negative rod Spirillum minus (also known as Spirillum minor ). It is a form of rat-bite fever (RBF).
Spiral bacteria are another major bacterial cell morphology. [2] [30] [31] [32] Spiral bacteria can be sub-classified as spirilla, spirochetes, or vibrios based on the number of twists per cell, cell thickness, cell flexibility, and motility. [33] Bacteria are known to evolve specific traits to survive in their ideal environment. [34]
It is a rare disease spread by infected rodents and caused by two specific types of bacteria: Streptobacillus moniliformis, the only reported bacteria that causes RBF in North America (streptobacillary RBF) Spirillum minus, common in Asia (spirillary RBF, also known as sodoku). Most cases occur in Japan, but specific strains of the disease are ...
Vincent's angina (also termed Plaut–Vincent's angina), [1] [2] is pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) and tonsillitis (inflammation of the palatine tonsils), caused by infection with two types of bacteria called fusiform (Fusobacterium spp.) [3] and spirochaetes (Borrelia spp. [3] and Spirillum spp.). [4]
A spirochaete (/ ˈ s p aɪ r oʊ ˌ k iː t /) [4] or spirochete is a member of the phylum Spirochaetota (also called Spirochaetes [5] / ˌ s p aɪ r oʊ ˈ k iː t iː z /), which contains distinctive diderm (double-membrane) Gram-negative bacteria, most of which have long, helically coiled (corkscrew-shaped or spiraled, hence the name) cells ...
Rat bite fever is caused by either Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minor.The incidence of rat-bite fever is highest in urban areas with poor sanitation where the rat population is high, however in recent times cases have also been attributed to occupational contact with rodents such as pet shop employees or laboratory workers or through pet ownership.
Spirillum winogradskyi is a gram-negative, bacterium from the genus of Spirillum which was isolated from the sulfidic sludge of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] References
