| Eberth's bacillus | A serotype of salmonella enterica which is the aetiologic agent of typhoid. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| timothy-hay bacillus | A saprophytic bacterium widely distributed in soil and dust and on plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tubercle bacillus | The Gram-positive bacterium that causes tuberculosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Johne's bacillus | A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria non-pathogenic for humans. It is the aetiologic agent of johne's disease (see paratuberculosis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhoid bacillus | A serotype of salmonella enterica which is the aetiologic agent of typhoid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Kitasato's bacillus | The bacterial cause of the bubonic plague which in the year 541 (as the black death) and later in the middle ages decimated europe. The effects of the plague are described in the nursery rhyme we all fall down. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of fleas that have fed on infected animals, mostly rodents. Plague occurs in the u.s. It is treatable with antibiotics but, if not treated promptly, can promptly lead to death. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Klebs-Loeffler bacillus | <bacteria> A species of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria in which three cultural types are recognised. These types (gravis, intermedius, and mitis) were originally given in accordance with the clinical severity of the cases from which the different strains were most frequently isolated. This species is the causative agent of diphtheria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Koch's bacillus | The Gram-positive bacterium that causes tuberculosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Koch-Weeks bacillus | <bacteria> Bacterium sometimes associated with influenza virus infections, causes pneumonia and meningitis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Flexner's bacillus | A bacterium which is one of the aetiologic agents of bacillary dysentery (dysentery, bacillary) and sometimes of infantile gastroenteritis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lactic acid bacillus | A member of the genus Lactobacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Friedlander's bacillus | Gram-negative, non-motile, capsulated, gas-producing rods found widely in nature and associated with urinary and respiratory infections in man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Friedlander's bacillus pneumonia | Pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, the Friedlander bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leprosy bacillus | A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that causes leprosy in man. Its organisms are generally arranged in clumps, rounded masses, or in groups of bacilli side by side. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Loeffler's bacillus | <bacteria> A species of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria in which three cultural types are recognised. These types (gravis, intermedius, and mitis) were originally given in accordance with the clinical severity of the cases from which the different strains were most frequently isolated. This species is the causative agent of diphtheria. (12 Dec 1998) |
