Peptostreptococcus Russellii
''Peptostreptococcus'' is a genus of Anaerobic organism, anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-Endospore, spore forming bacteria. The cell (biology), cells are small, Cocci, spherical, and can occur in short chains, in pairs or individually. They typically move using cilia. ''Peptostreptococcus'' are slow-growing bacteria with increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugs. ''Peptostreptococcus'' is a normal List of microbiota species of the lower reproductive tract of women, inhabitant of the healthy lower reproductive tract of women. Pathogenesis ''Peptostreptococcus'' species are commensal organisms in humans, living predominantly in the mouth, skin, gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal, vagina and urinary tracts, and are members of the gut flora, gut microbiota. Under immunosuppressed or physical trauma, traumatic conditions these organisms can become pathogenic, as well as sepsis, septicemic, harming their host. ''Peptostreptococcus'' can cause brain, liver, breast, and lung absc ...

Peptostreptococcus Anaerobius
''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. ''Peptostreptococcus'' are slow-growing bacteria sometimes resistance to antimicrobial drugs. ''P. anaerobius'' is intrinsically resistant to sodium polyethanol sulfonate (SPS), a component found in many types of blood culture media. ''Peptostreptococcus anaerobius'' is present as part of the microbiota of the lower reproductive tract of women and has been recovered from women with pelvic inflammatory disease and bacterial vaginosis. See also * List of bacterial vaginosis microbiota Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria in the vagina. The normally predominant species of ''Lactobacilli'' are markedly reduced. This is the list of organisms that are found in the vagina that are asso . ...
