Naxibacter haematophilus is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, oxidase-positive, and non-spore-forming bacterium which was isolated from clinical specimens and water samples. [3]

Etymology

Its specific name comes from the Greek haem (-atosa), which means "blood", and the Greek philos, which means "loving", because the strain was isolated from blood. [4] [5]
