#Escherichia albertii, initially identified as Hafnia alvei, by the commercial identification biochemical strip, API 20E, was isolated from an infant with diarrhea in Bangladesh in 1989. However, this #bacterium was later renamed as a novel species, E. albertii

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy (Whooping Cough is the effect of fixed toxin from the infecting organism, Bordetela pertussis, which is a #bacterium, not a virus)

Good advice, minor correction.

Singapore orders recall of French soft cheese over possible Listeria risk

This photograph shows a camembert cheese in Quimper on Aug 13, 2025. More than 40 batches of cheese have been recalled due to suspected contamination with Listeria bacteria, which can b…

More than a billion tons of #chitin are produced on Earth each year. This study shows that the soil #bacterium #Streptomyces venezuelae thrives on chitin from #insect #exoskeletons, using a potent mix of chitinases and a dedicated chitobiose importer @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/45sg4S5

Ancient Killer Is Rapidly Becoming Resistant to #Antibiotics, Warns Study
Currently, antibiotics are the only way to effectively treat #typhoid, which is caused by the #bacterium #Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S Typhi). Yet over the past three decades, the bacterium's resistance to oral antibiotics has been growing and spreading.

New #Bacteria Have Been Discovered on #China's #SpaceStation
On Earth there is no record of Niallia tiangongensis, a #bacterium found aboard the #Tiangong station that appears to be well adapted to conditions there.
It is unclear whether the newly discovered microbe evolved on the #space station or whether it is part of the vast sea of as yet unidentified microorganisms on Earth.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown #bacterium aboard #China's Tiangong space station. "It has been named Niallia tiangongensis, and it inhabited the cockpit controls on the station, living in microgravity conditions," Chinese astronauts collected swab samples from the space station in May 2023, which were then frozen and sent back to #Earth for study

New #Bacteria Have Been Discovered on a #Chinese Space Station

It is microscopic and rod-shaped, can create #spores, and may have evolved to #survive hundreds of miles above our planet’s surface.

This #bacterium, never before seen on Earth, was detected on #China's #Tiangong #space station. It has been named Niallia tiangongensis, and it inhabited the cockpit controls on the station, living in #microgravity conditions.

Today is #WorldTuberculosisDay!
#TB caused 1⃣.0⃣9⃣ to 1⃣.4⃣0⃣ million people to die in 2021/2023 (#WHO, #GBDstudy).
This included 115,000 people who perished from #resistant strains of the #bacterium.

Bacteria ( ; sg.: #bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one #biologicalCell. They constitute a large #domain of #prokaryotic #microorganisms. Typically a few #micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its #habitats. Bacteria inhabit the air, soil, water, #acidicHotSprings, #radioactiveWaste, and the #deepBiosphere of #EarthsCrust.
