Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a Gram-positive, catalase -negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, nonacid-fast, nonmotile bacterium. Distributed worldwide, E. rhusiopathiae is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing the disease known as erysipelas that may affect a wide range of animals.
Arcanobacterium (/ ɑːr ˈ k eɪ n oʊ b æ k ˌ t ɪər i ə m /) is a genus of bacteria. They are gram-positive, [1] non–acid fast, [1] nonmotile, [1] facultatively anaerobic, [1] and non–endospore forming. [1] They are widely distributed in nature in the microbiota of animals (including the human microbiota) and are mostly innocuous.
Arcanobacterium haemolyticum is a species of bacteria classified as a gram-positive bacillus. It is catalase -negative, facultative anaerobic, beta-hemolytic, and not motile. [1] It has been known to cause head and neck infections, pharyngitis, and sinusitis (Arcanobacterium haemolyticum infections). [1]
CAMP test is shown at bottom left. The CAMP test (Christie–Atkins–Munch-Peterson) is a test to identify group B β-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) [1][2] based on their formation of a substance, CAMP factor, [3] that enlarges the area of hemolysis formed by the β- hemolysin elaborated from Staphylococcus aureus.
An Arcanobacterium haemolyticum infection is any of several types of infection with the gram-positive bacillus Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. It can cause an acute pharyngitis, and it may cause an exanthem characterized by an erythematous, morbilliform or scarlatiniform eruption involving the trunk and extremities. [1]: 268.
Streptococcus equinus Andrewes and Horder 1906. Streptococcus bovis is a group of strains of Gram-positive bacteria, originally described as a species, [5][6] that in humans is associated with urinary tract infections, endocarditis, sepsis, [7] and colorectal cancer. [8] S. bovis is commonly found in the alimentary tract of cattle, sheep, and ...
Diagnostic microbiology is the study of microbial identification. Since the discovery of the germ theory of disease, scientists have been finding ways to harvest specific organisms. Using methods such as differential media or genome sequencing, physicians and scientists can observe novel functions in organisms for more effective and accurate ...
Gram staining is a bacteriological laboratory technique [7] used to differentiate bacterial species into two large groups (gram-positive and gram-negative) based on the physical properties of their cell walls. [8][page needed] Gram staining can also be used to diagnose a fungal infection. [1]
