Does chlamydia trachomatis belong to eubacteria or archaebacteria?

Chlamydia is a eubacteria. Most bacteria are eubacteria unless the bacteria live in extreme environments.


What are the morphological characteristics of a bacteria that allow them to behave as pathogens?

Bacteria that behave as pathogens often possess specific morphological characteristics that contribute to their pathogenicity. These characteristics include the presence of adhesive structures like pili and fimbriae, which enable them to attach to host tissues and evade the immune response. Some bacteria have capsule or slime layers that protect them from the host's defense mechanisms, and flagella that allow them to move and spread within the body. Additionally, certain bacteria can form biofilms, which provide a protective environment for them to thrive and resist antibiotics.

What is the morphological category of the pseudomonas bacteria?

Members of the genus Pseudomonas display the following defining characteristics: • Rod shaped •Gram-negative • One or more polar flagella, providing motility • Aerobic, although some species have been found to be facultative anaerobes (e.g. P. aeruginosa) •Non–spore forming • Positive catalase test
