The Aquificae phylum is a diverse collection of bacteria that live in harsh environmental settings. The name 'Aquificae' was given to this phylum based on an early genus identified within this group, Aquifex, which is able to produce water by oxidizing hydrogen. They have been found in springs, pools, and oceans. They are autotrophs, and are the primary carbon fixers in their environments. These bacteria are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods. They are true bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea.
A diplococcus is a round bacterium that typically occurs in the form of two joined cells.
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. M. catarrhalis is the clinically most important species under this genus.
The family Cytophagaceae is composed of eleven genera of environmental bacteria. The proposed genus "Allopseudarcicella" was recognized as a later synonym of Aquirufa and its sole species "Allopseudarcicella aquatilis" was transferred to the species Aquirufa nivalisilvae.
Ceftibuten is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is an orally administered agent, with two dosage forms, capsule or oral suspension. It is marketed by Pernix Therapeutics under the trade name Cedax.
In taxonomy, Sulfitobacter is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae.
Moraxella atlantae is a Gram-negative, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, nonmotile bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from aerobic blood cultures from a female cancer patient. M. atlantae is a rare opportunistic pathogen which can usually be treated by common antibiotics.
Moraxella boevrei is a Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, aerobic nonmotile bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the nasal flora of healthy goats in Lyon in France.
Moraxella canis is a Gram-negative, oxidase-positive bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from a wound from dog bite in Sweden and from an ulcerated supraclavicular lymph node of a patient.
Moraxella caprae is a Gram-negative, aerobic, nonmotile bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the nasal flora of goats in Lyon in France.
Moraxella caviae is a Gram-negative bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the pharyngeal region and mouth of guinea pig.
Moraxella cuniculi is a Gram-negative bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the oral mucosa of a rabbit in Germany. The previous name was Neisseria cuniculi.

Moraxella bovoculi is a Gram-negative bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the eyes of calves in Browns Valley, California. M. bovoculi can cause infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.
Moraxella pluranimalium is a Gram-negative, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the nasal turbinate of a pig.
Moraxella porci is a Gram-negative, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-endospore-forming bacterium in the genus Moraxella, which was isolated from the brain of a pig suffering from meningitis.
Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.
