Moraxellaceae
The Moraxellaceae are a family of Gammaproteobacteria, including a few pathogenic species.George M. Garrity: ''Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology''. 2. Auflage. Springer, New York, 2005, Volume 2: ''The Proteobacteria, Part B: The Gammaproteobacteria'' Others are harmless commensals of mammals and humans or occur in water or soil. The species are mesophilic or psychrotrophic (''Psychrobacter''). [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Psychrobacter
''Psychrobacter'' is a genus of Gram-negative, osmotolerant, oxidase-positive, psychrophilic or psychrotolerant, aerobic bacteria which belong to the family Moraxellaceae and the class Gammaproteobacteria. The shape is typically cocci or coccobacilli. Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis. This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C. Rudi Rossau found through DNA-rRNA hybridization analysis that ''Psychrobacter'' belongs to the Moraxellaceae. The first species ('' Psychrobacter immobilis'') was described by Juni and Heym. ''Psychrobacter'' occur in wide range of moist, cold saline habitats, but they also occur in warm and slightly saline habitats. Hypoacylated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from '' Psychrobacter cryohalolentis'' and '' Psychrobacter arcticus'' induces moderate TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in macrophages Macrophages (; ...

Acinetobacter Baumannii
''Acinetobacter baumannii'' is a typically short, almost round, rod-shaped (coccobacillus) Gram-negative bacterium. It is named after the bacteriologist Paul Baumann. It can be an opportunistic pathogen in humans, affecting people with compromised immune systems, and is becoming increasingly important as a hospital-derived ( nosocomial) infection. While other species of the genus '' Acinetobacter'' are often found in soil samples (leading to the common misconception that ''A. baumannii'' is a soil organism, too), it is almost exclusively isolated from hospital environments. Although occasionally it has been found in environmental soil and water samples, its natural habitat is still not known. Bacteria of this genus lack flagella but exhibit twitching or swarming motility, likely mediated by type IV pili. Motility in ''A. baumannii'' may also be due to the excretion of exopolysaccharide, creating a film of high- molecular-weight sugar chains behind the bacterium to move forwar ...

Moraxella
''Moraxella'' is a genus of gram-negative bacteria in the family Moraxellaceae. It is named after the Swiss ophthalmologist Victor Morax. The organisms are short rods, coccobacilli, or as in the case of '' Moraxella catarrhalis'', diplococci in morphology, with asaccharolytic, oxidase-positive, and catalase-positive properties.Ala'Aldeen, D. A. A. (2007). "Neisseria and moraxella". In Greenwood, David; Slack, Richard; Peitherer, John; & Barer, Mike (Eds.), ''Medical Microbiology'' (17th ed.), p. 258. Elsevier. . ''M. catarrhalis'' is the clinically most important species under this genus. Roles in disease The organisms are commensals of mucosal surfaces and sometimes give rise to opportunistic infection. * '' M. catarrhalis'' usually resides in respiratory tract, but can gain access to the lower respiratory tract in patients with chronic chest disease or compromised host defenses, thus causing tracheobronchitis and pneumonia. For example, it causes a significant proportion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acinetobacter
''Acinetobacter'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the wider class of Gammaproteobacteria. ''Acinetobacter'' species are oxidase-negative, exhibit twitching motility, and occur in pairs under magnification. They are important soil organisms, where they contribute to the mineralization of, for example, aromatic compounds. ''Acinetobacter'' species are a key source of infection in debilitated patients in the hospital, in particular the species '' Acinetobacter baumannii''. Description Species of the genus ''Acinetobacter'' are strictly aerobic, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacilli. They show mostly a coccobacillary morphology on nonselective agar. Rods predominate in fluid media, especially during early growth. The morphology of ''Acinetobacter'' species can be quite variable in Gram-stained human clinical specimens, and cannot be used to differentiate ''Acinetobacter'' from other common causes of infection. Most strains of ''Acinetobacter'', except som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
