Bordetella pertussis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, pathogenic, encapsulated coccobacillus of the genus Bordetella, and the causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough. Like B. bronchiseptica, B. pertussis is motile and expresses a flagellum-like structure. Its virulence factors include pertussis toxin, adenylate cyclase toxin, filamentous hæmagglutinin, pertactin, fimbria, and tracheal cytotoxin.
Enterobacter cloacae is a clinically significant Gram-negative, facultatively-anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium.
Acrophialophora fusispora is a poorly studied ascomycete fungus found in soil, air and various plants. A. fusispora is morphologically similar to the genera Paecilomyces and Masonia, but differ in the presence of pigmented conidiophores, verticillate phialides, and frequent sympodial proliferation. Moreover, A. fusispora is distinguished by its pigmented spindle-shaped conidia, covered with spiral bands. The fungus is naturally found in soils of tropical to temperate regions. The fungus has been identified as a plant and animal pathogen, and has recently been recognized as an emerging opportunistic human pathogen. A. fusispora infection in human is rare and has few documented clinical cases, but due to the rarity of the fungus and potential misidentification, the infections may be underdiagnosed. Clinical cases of A. fusispora include cases of keratitis, pulmonary colonization and infection, and cerebral infections. The fungus also has two documented cases of infection in dogs.
Bordetella holmesii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Bordetella. It was named in recognition of Barry Holmes, a biologist. It is asaccharolytic, oxidase-negative, and nonmotile, producing a brown pigment. It is associated with sepsis, endocarditis, and respiratory illness, especially in immunocompromised patients, such as asplenic or AIDS patients. It is often seen in conjunction with Bordetella pertussis infections, although not always.
Chitinimonas is a genus of Gram-negative, chitinolytic, rod-shaped bacteria which have flagella from the family of Burkholderiaceae which belongs to the class Betaproteobacteria. All species of Chitinimonas have been found in regions of Asia. Species of this genus are found to be both aerobic and anaerobic. Chitinimonas is optimally grown and cultured at 25 °C to 37 °C, with very little concentrations of NaCl.
Pandoraea apista is a Gram-negative, catalase-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile bacterium with a single polar flagellum, of the genus Pandoraea. The Strain CCUG 38412 was isolated from the sputum of a cystic fibrosis patient in Denmark. Pandoraea apista can cause lung disease, such as chronic lung infections, in patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis.
Bordetella avium is a Gram-negative, nonfermentative, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium from the genus Bordetella which has been isolated from patients with respiratory disease. B. avium is mainly responsible for the animal disease bordetellosis in wild and domesticated birds. B. avium was first described as Alcaligenes faecalis.
Bordetella hinzii is a Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, short rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Bordetella isolated from a patient who suffered from cystic fibrosis and from the trachea and lungs of a laboratory mouse.
Chryseobacterium gwangjuense is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from soil from the Gwangju province in Korea.
Sphingomonas dokdonensis is a Gram-negative and rod-shaped bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from soil from the Dokdo Island in Korea.
Sphingomonas insulae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from soil in Dokdo in Korea.
Sphingomonas lacus is a Gram-negative, aerobic and motile bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from soil near a pond in Daejeon in Korea. Sphingomonas lacus produces astaxanthin-dideoxyglycoside.
Muricauda aquimarina is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and slightly halophilic bacterium from the genus of Muricauda. which has been isolated from a salt lake near the beach of Hwajinpo in Korea.
Muricauda beolgyonensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Muricauda which has been isolated from tidal flat in Korea.
Muricauda flavescens is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and slightly halophilic bacterium from the genus of Muricauda which has been isolated from a salt lake near the beach of Hwajinpo in Korea.
Roseomonas is a genus of Gram negative bacteria. The cells are coccoid rods when viewed microscopically. Certain species are known to be opportunistic infections for humans.
Flavobacterium antarcticum is a Gram-negative, aerobic and psychrotolerant bacterium from the genus of Flavobacterium which has been isolated from soil from a penguin habitat from King George Island in Antarctica.
Marivita hallyeonensis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Marivita which has been isolated from seawater from Geoje-do in Korea.
Brevundimonas naejangsanensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Brevundimonas which has been isolated from soil from Korea.
Sphingopyxis baekryungensis is a Gram-negative, slightly halophilic and motile bacterium from the genus of Sphingopyxis which has been isolated from seawater from the Yellow Sea in Korea.
