1Strain SB3T is a Gram-positive obligate anaerobic coccus which is non-motile and non-spore forming.
2Homologous genes were found in the genome sequences of M. magnetotacticum and magnetic coccus strain MC-1.
3In Venezuela, the cactus plants, which grow so abundantly, serve to nourish the valuable though odd-looking little coccus cacti.
4This form of suppuration is due to a particular form of bacterium called the pus-causing "chain coccus."
5In a similar way we have the pus-causing grape coccus of a golden color (staphylococcus pyogenes aureus).
1Similar suppurative action in the cornea is often caused by infection of cocci.
2The bacteria most interesting to the surgeon belong to the cocci and the bacilli.
3One postinflammatory AS also had infective endocarditis from gram positive cocci without clinical sign.
4Eighty-six blood cultures that yielded Gram-positive cocci in clusters were included in this study.
5In infective endocarditis, gram-positive cocci were found in 70% of cases.
6Cells were observed to be non-spore-forming and irregular cocci.
7Cells of strain Marseille-P4356T are Gram-stain negative cocci.
8It showed gram-negative cocci, was strictly aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming, and exhibited catalase and oxidase activities.
9Comparative genomics revealed a close relationship between the sex factor and elements found in Gram-positive pathogenic cocci.
10Twenty-three percent failed to identify gram-negative rods on a slide with both gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rods.
11Gram-positive cocci are commonly isolated in orthopaedic implant infections and their resistance to β-lactams and fluoroquinolones is increasing.
12Thus, treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive cocci resistant to other antimicrobial drugs is a potential indication of daptomycin.
13FISH analyses showed that both these high G+C populations were almost totally dominated by small clustered cocci.
14Most susceptible bacteria were the Gram-positive cocci, including methicillin resistant S. aureus, while the most resistant was P. aeruginosa.
15All bacteria other than the low G+C small cocci and a few of the alpha-Proteobacteria accumulated PHB.
16The most common families were enterobacteriaceae in 58% and Gram-positive cocci in 36%.
