Wohlfahrtiimonas is a genus of bacteria from the class Gammaproteobacteria. [1] [2] [3] [4]
It was first described by Tóth et al. in 2008, and is named after its first described vector: the larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica, a species of parasitic fly. [5] Other species of flies, such as Lucilia sericata, Chrysomya megacephala and Musca domestica have also been linked closely to the spread of Wohlfahrtiimonas, as human wounds that have been infected with fly larvae are breeding grounds for the bacteria. [6] [7] Other potential sources of transmission include soil and chicken meat. [6]
The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.
Dysgonomonas is a Gram-negative and facultatively anaerobic genus from the family of Dysgonomonadaceae which have been isolated from human sources. Dysgonomonas bacteria can cause gastroenteritis in immunocompromised persons
Coprobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Barnesiellaceae.
Globicatella sulfidifaciens is a Gram-positive bacteria from the family of Globicatella which has been isolated from the lungs of cattle and lambs in Belgium. It is associated with purulent infections of domestic mammals and urinary tracts of swine. Unlike other Globicatella species and species of related genera, G. sulfidifaciens is PYR negative. Globicatella sulfidifaciens bacteria are resistant against the antibiotics neomycin, erythromycin and clindamycin.
Enterocloster citroniae, formerly Clostridium citroniae is a bacterium from the genus Enterocloster. The type species was isolated from a human infection in California in the United States.
Negativicoccus is a Gram-negative and anaerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Veillonellaceae.
Olsenella is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, obligate anaerobic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Atopobiaceae. Olsenella is named after the microbiologist Ingar Olsen. Olsenella bacteria are involved in endodontic infections in humans.
Sediminibacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae. Sediminibacillus species are halophilic bacteria and found in salty human stools and marine sponges. Sediminibacillus species are identified from Plakortis dariae sponge of the Saint Martin's island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Thalassobacillus is a Gram-positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped and moderately halophilic genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae. Single colonies are small in size.Thalassobacillus bacteria produces Meso-diaminopimelic acid. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and biochemically characterized Thalassobacillus devorans from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Canibacter oris is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile species of bacteria from the family of Microbacteriaceae, which has been isolated from a human wound caused by a dog bite in Australia.
Chitinispirillum is a genus of bacteria from the family of Chitinispirillaceae with one known species. Chitinispirillum alkaliphilum has been isolated from hypersaline lake sediments from the Wadi el Natrun valley in Egypt.
Oscillospiraceae is a family of bacteria in the class Clostridia. All Oscillospiraceae are obligate anaerobes. However, members of the family have diverse shapes, with some rod-shaped and others cocci.
Eisenbergiella is a genus of bacteria from the family of Lachnospiraceae.
Wohlfahrtiimonas populi is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Wohlfahrtiimonas which has been isolated from tree Populus × euramericana.
Wohlfahrtiimonas larvae is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Wohlfahrtiimonas which has been isolated from the gut of the larva Hermetia illucens.
Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica is a bacterium from the genus of Wohlfahrtiimonas which has been first isolated from the larva of Wohlfahrtia magnifica from Budapest in Hungary. Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica can cause sepsis in rare cases.
Ileibacterium is a genus from the family of Erysipelotrichidae.
Luteibacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Rhodanobacteraceae.
Singulisphaera is a moderately acidophilic and mesophilic genus of bacteria from the family of Planctomycetaceae.
Ignatzschineria larvae are a bacterium from the Ignatzschineria genus which has been isolated from larvae of the flesh fly Wohlfahrtia magnifica at Mezöfalva State Farm in Hungary.
