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.

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.

Lactobacillus porci is a species of bacteria that falls within the Lactobacillus genus. Species within this genus are typically facultative anaerobes, gram-positive rods, non-spore forming, and are able to produce lactic acid from fermentation of glucose.

<i>Yersinia hibernica</i> Species of bacterium

Yersinia hibernica is a species of Yersinia that was originally isolated in a pig-production environment. The type strain is CFS1934. This species has previously been misidentified as Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia kristensenii but it may be distinguished biochemically by lack of sucrose utilization. In addition to pig related environments, Y. hibernica has also been isolated from the feces of Rattus norvegicus and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris.

Jeotgalibaca arthritidis is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus Jeotgalibaca which has been isolated from the liquid of a joint from pigs.
