Lineage: Bacteriovorax marinus; Bacteriovorax; Bacteriovoracaceae; Bdellovibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium is an unusual species which parasitizes other gram negative bacteria during its growth phase. It has a highly motile free-living extracelluar phase during which it seeks out new hosts.
Subject: NC_010376:186510 Finegoldia magna ATCC 29328, complete genome
Lineage: Finegoldia magna; Finegoldia; Clostridiales Family XI; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: It is isolated most frequently from various infection sites, including soft tissue, bone and joint, and diabetic foot infections. This species, formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus, is a commensal bacterium colonizing human skin and mucous membranes. It has been shown to cause valve endocarditic in humans. Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) are a major part of the normal human flora colonizing skin and mucous membranes of the mouth and gastrointestinal tracts. In GPAC, Finegoldia magna (formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus) has the highest pathogenicity and is isolated most frequently from various infection sites, including soft tissue, bone and joint, and diabetic foot infections.
