Salmonella are gram-negative, rod-shaped bacilli that can cause salmonellosis, a diarrheal illness in humans. Gram-negative bacteria usually have a cell wall composed of a thin layer of peptidoglycan, covered by a membrane. There are over 2,300 subtypes of the Salmonella enterica bacterium, including serovars enterititis, Salmonella Agbeni, and typhimurium. The bacteria live in the gut of infected humans and animals.
Group of gram-negative bacteria (most common being the escherichia coli or E. coli which can grow at elevated temperatures) which can ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas when incubated at 35–37°C .found in the intestinal tract (therefore in the feces) of humans and other animals. These rod-shaped microorganisms aid in digestion and
Clostridium, genus of rod-shaped, usually gram-positive bacteria, members of which are found in soil, water, and the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals. Most species grow only in the complete absence of oxygen. Dormant cells are highly resistant to heat, desiccation, and toxic chemicals and detergents. The species are variable in size. A typical species, C. butyricum, ranges from
Cleaning Cleaning is not the same as disinfecting or sanitizing. Cleaning may and should occur before disinfecting or sanitizing surfaces. Cleaning is the removal of all foreign material from objects by using water and detergents, soaps, enzymes and the mechanical action of washing or scrubbing the object. Disinfection/sterilization cannot be accomplished if soil removal is
Bacillus spp are aerobic spore forming rods that stain gram positive or gram variable. Except for few species the large majority have no pathogenic potential and have never been associated with disease in man or animals. Members of the genus have significant microbiological uses . Numerous enzymes, antibiotics and other metabolites have medical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and
