Brachybacterium
''Brachybacterium'' is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile bacteria. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. The genus name comes from Greek word ''brachy'', meaning short, and Latin ''bacterium'', meaning rods, referencing the short rods noted during the exponential phase. The type species of the genus, ''Brachybacterium faecium'', was first isolated from poultry deep litter Deep or The Deep may refer to: Places United States * Deep Creek (Appomattox River tributary), Virginia * Deep Creek (Great Salt Lake), Idaho and Utah * Deep Creek (Mahantango Creek tributary), Pennsylvania * Deep Creek (Mojave River tributary) ... in 1966 along with several other species. Speciation of the strains was performed in 1975, but three of the strains did not cluster with any known taxon. In 1988, further work was performed on the previously unclassified organisms, and the current genus was proposed. ''Brachybacteria'' have been isol ...
