Here is a list of some bacteria and its etiological agents which causes diseases in man. Also learn about its prevention and control. Actinomyces: The Actinomyces are members of the order Actinomycetales, which have characteristics intermediate between the true bacteria and the molds. They produce a true mycelium. The vegetative mycelium fragments into elements of irregular size and may exhibit [...]
Medical textbooks are the last place to look for definitive taxonomic data. Medical sources are historically the most conservative in keeping abreast of changes in taxonomy and nomenclature. Such nomenclatural anachronisms as "Vibrio comma," "non-cholera vibrio," and "Salmonella typhosa" are examples of the ultraconservative approach of some medical sources to changes in nomenclature. The most comprehensive treatment of bacterial classification, [...]
Bacteria reproduce by an asexual process called binary fission. In this sequence of events, the chromosome duplicates, the cell elongates, and the plasma membrane pinches inward at the center of the cell. When the nuclear material has been evenly distributed, the cell wall thickens and grows inward to separate the dividing cell. No mitotic structures (e.g., spindle, aster) are present [...]
