Coccobacillus/Coccobacilli:

The Coccobacillus (single)/coccobacilli (plural) bacterium is responsible for many infections and bacterial viruses/illnesses. There are both gram-negative coccobacilli consisting of rods that are curved, straight and helical, and gram-positive coccobacilli which consist of rods which are a stick-like shape; this bacterial cell in morphology if a coccus and a bacillus. Many of the diseases are that are caused by different coccobacilli bacterium are curable, depending on the spices whether, Acinetobactor or Haemophilus.

Acinetobacter species:

Gram-negative coccobacillus is prevalent in food, fecal matter, soil and water. Human infection is caused by eating contaminated foods, drinking contaminated water, coming in contact with infected soil or fecal matter and not washing their hands after exposure. This species in non-motile, and it is found to colonize intensive care units and patients in these units, these infections include Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The Acinetobacter species are resistant to many antibiotic classes, two to these are choramphenicol and penicillin.

This species causes disease in humans (some cause a severe bacterial infection/disease in children), such as, Bacteraemia, Acinetobacter Pneumonia, Acinetobacter Meningitis, Acinetobacter Urinary Infection; Nosocomial Infections (including blood infections); Nosocomial Pseudomonas Aeruginosa; Escherichia coli (E. coli); Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); Carbapenem -resistant Acinetobacter Species (CRAB); Campylobacter coli (C. coli); Pseudomanas aeruginosa; Bacterial Vaginosis; Chlamydia Trachomatis; Trichomonas Vaginalis/Candida; Genital Herpes (HSV2); Acute Meningitis; Coccobacilli Neisseria Meningitides; Neisseria Gonorrhoeae and Candida; Bacterial food-borne Gastritis and Bacterial Ulcers; Pasteurella Multocida; Vaginal Squamous cells (coated with coccobacilli)…

The Acinetobacter species are in general responsive to broad-spectrum antibiotics; ampicillin, penicillin, chelorammphenicol, tigecycline, doxycyclines…; this spices is drug-resistant to many other antibiotics, as is the form of coccobacillus species Haemophilus.

Haemophilus species:

Gram-negative coccobacilli which have features that are ultra-structural those of other pathogenic bacilli; these require X (hemin) and/or V (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) factors. The gram-negative rods are short and wide about 0.3 - 0.5 x 0.5 - 1.5, they are small and pale pink, small and non-motile. There are forms that appear to coccid in short arrows, and others that are more rod-like appearing in long arrows. It is also the type which can grow in the agar found in some foods. The lactose positive gram-negative rods may well include Entorobacteriaceae, as in E. coli.

This species causes disease in humans (some cause a severe bacterial infection/disease in children), such as, Haemophilus Influenza (type B), which is a common pathogen in humans; and Haemophilus Somnus, a bacteria the effects the respiratory tract of mammals, inkling humans. This species causes a number of diseases: Haemophilus Ducreyi (causing Chancroid, especially children); Haemophilus Parainfluenzae (causing pneumonia, bacterial endocarditis or neocarditis, in babies); Haemophilus Meningitis (especially children); Haemophilus Otitis (especially children); Haemophilus pneumonia (especially children); Haemophilus Cellulitis (especially children); Haemophilus Aphrophilus; Haemophilus Parainfluenzae; Haemophilus Aegyptius (causing conjunctivitis, especially children); Haemophilus Haemolyticus; Staphylococcus Aureus…

The Haemophilus species are in general responsive to broad-spectrum antibiotics; ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephalosporins, tetracyclines…; this spices is also drug-resistant to many antibiotics as is the form coccobacillus species Acinetobacter.
