The taxonomy of Moraxella catarrhalis is a topic that has caused confusion in the past. The bacteria was initially placed in the genus Neisseria, before being moved into a separate genus named Branhamella in honor of Dr. Sara Branham in 1970. [4] In 1984 this bacterium once again had a change in taxonomy and was moved to the genus Moraxella.
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.

"Atypical pneumonia" is atypical in that it is caused by atypical organisms (other than Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis). [20] These atypical organisms include special bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Examples of gram-negative diplococci are Neisseria spp. and Moraxella catarrhalis. Examples of gram-positive diplococci are Streptococcus pneumoniae and Enterococcus spp. [10] [11] Presumably, diplococcus has been implicated in encephalitis lethargica. [12] The genus Neisseria belongs to the family Neisseriaceae.

Non-fermenters (also non-fermenting bacteria) are a taxonomically heterogeneous group of bacteria of the phylum Pseudomonadota that cannot catabolize glucose, and are thus unable to ferment.
