Peptoniphilaceae
The Peptoniphilaceae are a family of bacteria in the class Clostridia. Taxonomy Not validly published genera in Peptoniphilaceae. * ''Khoudiadiopia'', with the type species ''K. massiliensis''.

The genus has been proposed twice, in 2016 and 2021, based on the same isolate. * ''Micromonas'', first proposed in 1981 with the species ''Micromonas pusilla'', but not validly published. Again proposed in 2000 with the new combination ''Micromonas micros'' as type species, but ruled illegitimate due to the algal genus ''Micromonas''. ''M. micros'' is now validly published as ''Parvimonas micra''. * ''Schleiferella'', proposed in 2001 as genus for several new combinations, all of which are now validly published in ''Peptoniphilus ''Peptoniphilus'' is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).

Peptoniphilus
''Peptoniphilus'' is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). Etymology The name ''Peptoniphilus'' derives from:New Latin noun ''peptonum'', peptone; New Latin adjective ''philus'' from Greek adjective ''philos (φίλος)'' meaning friend, loving; New Latin masculine gender noun ''Peptoniphilus'', friend of peptone, referring to the use of peptone as a major energy source. Classification Peptoniphilus are gram positive anaerobic cocci that were formerly classified in the genus Peptostreptococcus. They are non-saccharolytic, use peptone as a major energy source and produce butyrate. Clinical relevance This genus is part of the vaginal and gut microbiota. They have been reported to as present in diabetic skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, surgical site infections, chorioamnionitis and bloodstream infections. They are typically found as part of polymicrobial infections but are difficult to recover with usual clinical cultures. They hav ...

Anaerococcus
Anaerococcus is a genus of bacteria. Its type species is ''Anaerococcus prevotii''. These bacteria are Gram-positive and strictly anaerobic. The genus Anaerococcus was proposed in 2001. Its genome was sequenced in August 2009. The genus Anaerococcus is one of six genera classified within the group GPAC (Gram-Positive Anaerobic Cocci). These six genera (Peptostreptococcus, Peptoniphilus, Parvimonas, Finegoldia, Murdochiella, and Anaerococcus) are found in the human body as part of the commensal human microbiota. It is commonly found in the human microbiome and is associated with various infections. Most of the species in this genus can be found among microbes of the skin, human vagina, nasal cavity, oral cavity and feces, often as a pathogen found in Tubo-ovarian abscess, ovarian abscesses, chronic wounds and vaginal discharge. Moreover, some of the species can be isolated from Diabetic foot ulcer, foot ulcers and knee arthritis. It can be present in urinary tract infections, chron ...

Parvimonas Micra
''Parvimonas micra'' is a Gram positive anaerobic coccus which is frequently isolated from dental plaque in patients with chronic periodontitis. It is the only species in its genus, and is a common constituent of mixed anaerobic infections such as intra-abdominal abscess. It has rarely been implicated as a sole pathogen in septic arthritis, osteomyelitis and discitis Discitis, or diskitis, is an infection in the intervertebral disc space that affects different age groups. In adults, it can lead to severe consequences, such as sepsis or epidural abscess, but it can also spontaneously resolve, especially in ch ... associated with recent dental procedures.

Finegoldia
''Finegoldia'' is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria. They are anaerobic cocci of the class Clostridia, with ''Finegoldia magna'' being the type species. ''F. magna'' was formerly known, along with several other Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPACs), as ''Peptostreptococcus magnus'', but was moved into its own genus in 1999. The name is in honor of Sydney M. Finegold, an American microbiologist, while ''magna'' is Latin for large. It is an opportunistic human pathogen that normally colonizes skin and mucous membranes. It is often seen in biofilms on chronic ulcers such as in diabetic foot or decubitus ulcers. Most surveys have found it to be susceptible to penicillins, carbapenems and metronidazole, though resistant strains have been identified. Resistance to clindamycin Clindamycin is an antibiotic medication used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections, including osteomyelitis (bone) or joint infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, strep throat, pneumon ...

Micromonas
''Micromonas'' is a genus of green algae in the family ''Mamiellaceae''. Before the characterization in 2016 of a second species, ''Micromonas commoda'', ''Micromonas pusilla'' was considered to be the only species in the genus, which led to a disproportionate amount of research discussing a single species within the genus. It is suggested to be the dominant photosynthetic picoeukaryote in some marine ecosystems. Unlike many marine algae, it is distributed widely in both warm and cold waters.Genomes of Two Strains of Micromonas Algae Show Surprising Diversity , ''Alternative Energy Newswire'', April 10, 2009 It is a strong swimmer and exhibits a phototaxic response. ''Micromonas pusilla'' is divided into 3 to 5 different |
Clostridia
The Clostridia are a highly polyphyletic class of Bacillota, including '' Clostridium'' and other similar genera. They are distinguished from the Bacilli by lacking aerobic respiration. They are obligate anaerobes and oxygen is toxic to them. Species of the class ''Clostridia'' are often but not always Gram-positive (see ''Halanaerobium'') and have the ability to form spores. Studies show they are not a monophyletic group, and their relationships are not entirely certain. Currently, most are placed in a single order called Clostridiales, but this is not a natural group and is likely to be redefined in the future. Most species of the genus ''Clostridium'' are saprophytic organisms that ferment plant polysaccharides and are found in many places in the environment, most notably the soil. However, the genus does contain some human pathogens (outlined below). The toxins produced by certain members of the genus ''Clostridium'' are among the most dangerous known. Examples are tetanus ...

Bacterium
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationshi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
