Biovar
A biovar is a variant prokaryotic Strain (biology), strain that differs physiologically or biochemically from other strains in a particular species. Morphovars (or morphotypes) are those strains that differ morphologically. Serovars (or serotypes) are those strains that have antigenic properties that differ from other strains. __FORCETOC__ List of biovars This is a list of biovars and strains of biovars listed at the NCBI Taxonomy database:Schoch CL, et al.

Bacillus Cereus Biovar Anthracis
''Bacillus cereus'' biovar ''anthracis'' is a variant of the ''Bacillus cereus'' bacterium that has acquired plasmids similar to those of ''Bacillus anthracis''. As a result, it is capable of causing anthrax. In 2016, it was added to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC's list of select agents and toxins. ''Bacillus cereus'' biovar ''anthracis'' infection has caused significant mortality in numerous mammalian species, including Common chimpanzee, chimpanzees.

Serovar
A serotype or serovar is a distinct variation within a species of bacteria or virus or among immune cells of different individuals. These microorganisms, viruses, or cells are classified together based on their shared reactivity between their surface antigens and a particular antiserum, allowing the classification of organisms to a level below the species. A group of serovars with common antigens is called a serogroup or sometimes ''serocomplex''. Serotyping often plays an essential role in determining species and subspecies. The ''Salmonella'' genus of bacteria, for example, has been determined to have over 2600 serotypes. ''Vibrio cholerae'', the species of bacteria that causes cholera, has over 200 serotypes, based on cell antigens. Only two of them have been observed to produce the potent enterotoxin that results in cholera: O1 and O139. Serotypes were discovered in hemolytic streptococci by the American microbiologist Rebecca Lancefield in 1933. Procedure ''Seroty ...

Aeromonas Veronii Biovar Sobria Gram Stain On Microscope Slide
''Aeromonas'' is a genus of Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, bacteria that morphologically resemble members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Most of the 14 described species have been associated with human diseases. The most important pathogens are '' A. hydrophila'', '' A. caviae'', and '' A. veronii'' biovar ''sobria''. The organisms are ubiquitous in fresh and brackish water. They group with the gamma subclass of the Proteobacteria. Two major diseases associated with ''Aeromonas'' are gastroenteritis and wound infections, with or without bacteremia. Gastroenteritis typically occurs after the ingestion of contaminated water or food, whereas wound infections result from exposure to contaminated water. In its most severe form, ''Aeromonas'' spp. can cause necrotizing fasciitis, which is life-threatening, usually requiring treatment with antibiotics and even amputation. Although some potential virulence factors (e.g. endotoxins, hemolysins, enterotoxins, adh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Agrobacterium Biovar 3
''Allorhizobium vitis'' is a plant pathogen that infects grapevines. The species is best known for causing a tumor known as crown gall disease. One of the virulent strains, ''A. vitis'' S4, is responsible both for crown gall on grapevines and for inducing a hypersensitive response in other plant species. Grapevines that have been affected by crown gall disease produce fewer grapes than unaffected plants. Though not all strains of ''A. vitis'' are tumorigenic, most strains can damage plant hosts. ''A. vitis'' shares many genetic and morphological characteristics with several ''Agrobacterium'' species, including ''A. tumefaciens''. The two species have overlapping host ranges, and both ''A. vitis'' and ''A. tumefaciens'' may reduce the yield of infected crops. For this reason, research on ''A. vitis'' focuses on transmission and methods of control. Biology Identification ''A. vitis'' is a Gram-negative bacterium with a thin peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall. The species is ...

Bifidobacterium Longum Subsp
''Bifidobacterium'' is a genus of gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria. They are ubiquitous inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract though strains have been isolated from the vagina and mouth ('' B. dentium'') of mammals, including humans. Bifidobacteria are one of the major genera of bacteria that make up the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in mammals. Some bifidobacteria are used as probiotics. Before the 1960s, ''Bifidobacterium'' species were collectively referred to as ''Lactobacillus bifidus''. History In 1899, Henri Tissier, a French pediatrician at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, isolated a bacterium characterised by a Y-shaped morphology ("bifid") in the intestinal microbiota of breast-fed infants and named it "bifidus". In 1907, Élie Metchnikoff, deputy director at the Pasteur Institute, propounded the theory that lactic acid bacteria are beneficial to human health. Metchnikoff observed that the longevity of Bulgarians was the result ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bibersteinia Trehalosi
''Bibersteinia trehalosi'' is a species of Gram-negative Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that, unlike gram-positive bacteria, do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial differentiation. Their defining characteristic is that their cell envelope consists ... bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae. Originally described as ''Pasteurella trehalosi'' by Sneath & Stevens in 1990, it was reclassified into the newly created genus '' Bibersteinia'' in 2007 based on phylogenetic and biochemical studies. Etymology The genus name ''Bibersteinia'' honors Ernst Ludwig Biberstein, a noted German veterinarian. The species epithet ''trehalosi'' refers to the ability of this bacterium to ferment the sugar trehalose, a distinguishing biochemical trait. Characteristics ''Bibersteinia trehalosi'' exhibits the following features: * Gram-negative * Rod-shaped or coccobacillary morphology * Facultatively anaerobic * Non-motile * Oxidase- and c ...

Pasteurella Haemolytica Biovar T
__NOTOC__ ''Pasteurella'' is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria. ''Pasteurella'' species are non motile and pleomorphic, and often exhibit bipolar staining ("safety pin" appearance). Most species are catalase- and oxidase-positive. The genus is named after the French chemist and microbiologist, Louis Pasteur, who first identified the bacteria now known as '' Pasteurella multocida'' as the agent of chicken cholera. Pathogenesis Many ''Pasteurella'' species are zoonotic pathogens, and humans can acquire an infection from domestic animal bites. In cattle, sheep, and birds, ''Pasteurella'' species can cause a life-threatening pneumonia; in cats and dogs, however, ''Pasteurella'' is not a cause of disease, and constitutes part of the normal flora of the nose and mouth. ''Pasteurella haemolytica'' is a species that infects mainly cattle and horses: '' P. multocida'' is the most frequent causative agent in human ''Pasteurella'' infection. Common symptoms of p ...

Bacillus Wiedmannii Bv
''Bacillus'', from Latin "bacillus", meaning "little staff, wand", is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum ''Bacillota'', with 266 named species. The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural ''Bacilli'' is the name of the class of bacteria to which this genus belongs. ''Bacillus'' species can be either obligate aerobes which are dependent on oxygen, or facultative anaerobes which can survive in the absence of oxygen. Cultured ''Bacillus'' species test positive for the enzyme catalase if oxygen has been used or is present. ''Bacillus'' can reduce themselves to oval endospores and can remain in this dormant state for years. The endospore of one species from Morocco is reported to have survived being heated to 420 °C. Endospore formation is usually triggered by a lack of nutrients: the bacterium divides within its cell wall, and one side then engulfs the other. They are not true spores (i.e., ...
