Streptobacillus

Streptobacillus /Strep·to·bac·il·lus/ (strep″to-bah-sil´lus) a genus of gram-negative bacteria of uncertain affiliation; organisms are highly pleomorphic. S. monilifor´mis is a cause of rat-bite fever.

A genus of gram-negative, rod-shaped, often pathogenic bacteria that typically occurs in chains, including a species that causes a type of rat-bite fever.

Streptobacillus [strep″to-bah-sil´us]

a genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria. The organisms are found in the throat and nasopharynx of wild and laboratory rats, and they may cause rat-bite fever in humans. It contains a single species, S. multifor´mis.

streptobacillus [strep″to-bah-sil´us]

1. a group of rod-shaped bacteria that remain loosely attached end-to-end in long chains as a result of failure of daughter cells to separate after cell division.

2. an organism of the genus Streptobacillus.

Streptobacillus

a genus of gram-negative bacteria which sometimes forms filaments. The only species is S. moniliformis, which is found in the nasopharynx of rats. It is the cause of Haverhill fever, a form of rat-bite fever, in humans and possibly dogs and cats. It may cause acute septicemia or chronic disease characterized by arthritis in mice. Previously called Bacillus actinoides and Streptobacillus actinoides.
