Edwardsiella tarda is a member of the family Hafniaceae. [1] [2] The bacterium is a facultatively anaerobic, small, motile, gram negative, straight rod with flagella.[1] [2] Infection causes Edwardsiella septicemia (also known as ES, edwardsiellosis, emphysematous putrefactive disease of catfish, fish gangrene, and red disease) in channel catfish, eels, and flounder.
Red blood cells (RBCs), referred to as erythrocytes (from Ancient Greek erythros ' red ' and kytos ' hollow vessel ', with -cyte translated as 'cell' in modern usage) in academia and medical publishing, also known as red cells, [1] erythroid cells, and rarely haematids, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O 2) to the body tissues ...
Clostridium tetani is a common soil bacterium and the causative agent of tetanus.Vegetative cells of Clostridium tetani are usually rod-shaped and up to 2.5 μm long, but they become enlarged and tennis racket- or drumstick-shaped when forming spores.
Bacteria display a large diversity of cell morphologies and arrangements.. Bacterial cellular morphologies are the shapes that are characteristic of various types of bacteria and often key to their identification.
Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) ' clotting ') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.
Fusobacterium is a genus of obligate anaerobic, Gram-negative, [2] non-sporeforming bacteria [3] belonging to Gracilicutes.Individual cells are slender, rod-shaped bacilli with pointed ends.
A proerythroblast (or rubriblast, or pronormoblast) is a precursor cell to the normoblast (nucleated red blood cell), as the earliest of four stages in its development.. In histology, it is very difficult to distinguish it from the other "-blast" cells (lymphoblast, myeloblast, monoblast, and megakaryoblast).
Erythrasma is a superficial skin infection that causes brown, scaly skin patches.It is caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum bacteria, a normal part of skin flora (the microorganisms that are normally present on the skin).
