5 days ago · Flagella are not the only means by which bacteria move about. Some bacteria exhibit a gliding motility by which they crawl over surfaces by waves of contraction produced within the cytoplasm. Gliding is defined as the movement of a non-flagellated cell in the direction of its long axis on a surface.

2 days ago · Vibrio cholerae is a motile (flagellated), comma-shaped oxidase-positive gram-negative rod that grows best on specialized media. Although many infections are asymptomatic, epidemic cholera produces the most dramatic watery diarrhea known.
3 days ago · Overview. The Enterobacteriaceae are a large and diverse family of gram-negative rods, members of which are both free-living and part of the indigenous flora of humans and animals; a few are adapted strictly to humans.

3 days ago · Salmonella infection usually lasts 4 to 7 days and gets better without treatment. Do not take medicine to stop your diarrhea. This can make your infection last longer. You may need any of the following to treat the infection or to ease your symptoms: Liquids help prevent dehydration. Ask your healthcare provider how much liquid to drink each ...
5 days ago · If the only movement you see is vibrational and not directional, the organism is nonmotile. If you see only a few cells exhibiting motility, consider the organism to be motile. Characteristically, only a few of the cells will be motile at a given moment. Don’t confuse water current movements with true motility.
5 days ago · Types of Culture Media: There are several types of culture media used in microbiology, including: Solid or Agar media: Solid media containing agar, which provides a gel-like structure that supports the growth of microorganisms. Liquid media: Nutrient-rich liquids that are used to grow microorganisms in suspension.
