Spirochetes vary in their metabolism, some are obligate aerobes while others are obligate anaerobes. They are typically gram negative.

Another species is Bdellovibrio. The Bdellovibrio attack other species of bacteria. They can more faster than any other bacteria species at 100um/sec. Once attached to its preys outer membrane it will penetrate the wall.  Bdellovibrio plays a important role in natural water purification. It can also change the structure and function of its prey.

Gram Positive Bacilli is both helpful and pathogenic, depending on the species of this Bacteria. The two subgroups of this bacteria is actinmycetes and Mycoplasmas. Actinmycetes can cause TB or leprosy, however, it can also decompose the organic matter in the soil. Also, Gram Positive Bacilli can cause diseases on animal and humans. They can be infected by feeding of plants that have been contaminated by this bacteria.

Not all Spirochetes are harmful, in fact, in oysters and mussels the Spirochetes help them by sweeping food into the oyster/ mussel, almost like cilia. Therefore, they are participating in mutualism.

Thiomargarita namibiensis oxidizes hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur as a waste product. It is actually visible, about the size of the head of the fruit fly. It's large size is due to a vacuole that takes up 80 to 90 percent of the cell space.

Some strains of chlamydia are responsible for conjunctivitis and respiratory problems, but the most commonly known is Chlamydia trachomatis, an STD. Chlamydia is parasitic and all forms of the bacteria have harmful effects on its human recipients.

Myxobacteria are thought to be slime-secreting. When food is unavailable or soil drives out the myxobacteria cells will move together to form a fruiting body which will then release myxospores. Myxospores are a reproductive unit capable of forming new individuals without sexual fusion.

Furthermore, the treating physician does not always interpret Gram stain information correctly or is often unable to relate Gram stain results to the clinical scenario [1-5]. The indication of " gram- positive cocci" in blood culture reports represents isolated information that, by itself, is unhelpful. If there are gram- positive cocci in ...
