Aerococcus urinae is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus.The bacterium is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters. Isolates of this genus were originally isolated in 1953 from samples collected in the air and dust of occupied rooms and were distinguished by their tetrad cellular arrangements. [2]
Aerococcus sanguinicola is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus and is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus growing in clusters.This species was defined in 2001 [1] and has since then been increasingly recognized as a pathogen causing urinary tract infections [2] [3] and also invasive infections including infective endocarditis. [4]
Aerococcus is a genus in the phylum Bacillota . [1] The genus was first identified in 1953 from samples of air and dust as a catalase -negative, gram -positive coccus that grew in small clusters. [ 2 ]
Based on a genomic analysis, Anaerococcus rubiinfantis has high antibiotic susceptibility. [17] For that reason this bacteria can be treated with common oral antibiotics. [17] A. rubiinfantis have catalase activity, which is not common from an anaerobic bacteria. [17]
Gaffkaemia was first discovered in 1947 in American lobsters (Homarus americanus) in a holding tank in Maine. [1] It was originally described as "Gaffkya homari" by Hitcher and Snieszko, but the genus name Gaffkya was rejected in 1971, [2] [3] and the gaffkaemia bacterium was recognised as a subspecies or variety of Aerococcus viridans by Kelly and Evans in 1974.
Granulicatella adiacens is a fastidious Gram-positive cocci (pairs, chains) and is part of the nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS). [2] [3] [4] Like other constituents of the NVS, it can cause bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE), with significant morbidity and mortality.
Aerococcus viridans is a member of the bacterial genus Aerococcus. It is a causative agent of gaffkaemia, a disease of lobsters, [1] ...
Once a bacterium has been identified following microbiological culture, antibiotics are selected for susceptibility testing. [5] Susceptibility testing methods are based on exposing bacteria to antibiotics and observing the effect on the growth of the bacteria (phenotypic testing), or identifying specific genetic markers (genetic testing).
