What are anaerobic cocci?

B Watt, E P Jack

    Journal of Medical Microbiology
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Suggested criteria define "anaerobic cocci" to encompass all obligately anaerobic strains. This distinction aids laboratory characterization and future studies on taxonomy and pathogenicity.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Anaerobic cocci are a diverse group of bacteria.
    • Clear definitions are needed for accurate classification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose criteria for defining "anaerobic cocci" as a general term.
    • To distinguish obligately anaerobic from micro-aerophilic strains.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and expert consensus.
    • Analysis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Proposed definition includes all obligately anaerobic cocci.
    • Distinction made between obligate anaerobes and micro-aerophilic variants.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed definition facilitates laboratory characterization.
    • Provides a basis for further taxonomic and pathogenicity studies of anaerobic cocci.
