Leptospira alexanderi is a species of Leptospira . [1] Its type strain is strain L 60T (= ATCC 700520T).
Leptospira is a genus of spirochaete bacteria, including a small number of pathogenic and saprophytic species. Leptospira was first observed in 1907 in kidney tissue slices of a leptospirosis victim who was described as having died of "yellow fever".
Chlamydia muridarum is an intracellular bacterial species that at one time belonged to Chlamydia trachomatis. However, C. trachomatis naturally only infects humans and C. muridarum naturally infects only members of the family Muridae.
Chlamydia suis is a member of the genus Chlamydia. C. suis has only been isolated from swine, in which it may be endemic. Glycogen has been detected in Chlamydia suis inclusions in infected swine tissues and in cell culture. C. suis is associated with conjunctivitis, enteritis and pneumonia in swine.
Leptospira noguchii is a gram-negative, pathogenic organism named for Japanese bacteriologist Dr. Hideyo Noguchi who named the genus Leptospira. L. noguchii is famous for causing the febrile illness in Fort Bragg, NC during World War II. There was 40 cases of this fever documented during each summer from 1942 to 1944; however, there were 0 deaths recorded from this outbreak. Unlike other strains of Leptospira that cause leptospirosis, L. noguchii is characterized by showing a pretibial rash on the victim. Its specific epithet recognises Hideyo Noguchi.
Leptospira weilii is a pathogenic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira santarosai is a pathogenic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira borgpetersenii is a pathogenic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira meyeri is a saprophytic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira wolbachii is a saprophytic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira inadai is a pathogenic species of Leptospira.
Leptospira fainei is a pathogenic species of Leptospira, first isolated from pigs in Australia and named for University of Otago and Monash University microbiologist Dr. Solomon Faine.
Yersinia mollaretii is a Gram-negative species of bacteria. The species is named after Henri Mollaret, the former head of the National Yersinia Center at Institut Pasteur.
Citrobacter farmeri is a Gram-negative species of bacteria.
Citrobacter youngae is a Gram-negative species of bacteria.
Citrobacter braakii is a Gram-negative species of bacteria. It has been reported to cause sepsis in an immunocompromised person.
Citrobacter werkmanii is a Gram-negative species of bacteria.
Citrobacter sedlakii is a species of Gram-negative bacteria. It has been described as causing human disease, but is generally found as a non-pathogenic organism in human stools.
Sphingomonas asaccharolytica is a bacterium from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from roots from an apple tree in Japan.
Leptospira alstonii is a gram negative, mobile, spirochete. It is flexible, helical, and motile by means of two periplasmic flagella. It is obligately aerobic and oxidase positive. It was named after J. M. Alston, a British microbiologist who made significant contributions to the study of Leptospirosis. It is one of nine human or animal pathogenic species of Leptospira. It was originally isolated from material submitted to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Iowa State University during an outbreak of swine abortion in 1983. It has been isolated and stored in liquid nitrogen or Ellinghausen-McCullough-Johnson-Harris medium. It also has been isolated in China from a frog. The strain is also available from culture collections of the WHO collaborating centers. Lipase is not produced by this species. NaCl is not required for growth. Growth is inhibited by 8-azaguanine at 225 µg/mL or 2,6-diaminopurine (10 µg/mL) and copper sulfate. It contains serovars from the serogroup ranarum. DNA G+C content is 39±8 mol%.
Pluralibacter is a genus of Gram negative bacteria from the family of Enterobacteriaceae. The genus consists of two species, P. gergoviae and P. pyrinus. Both species were originally classified in the genus Enterobacter, but were reclassified into the novel genus Pluralibacter in 2013.
