aerobic gram positive bacilli
Aerobic NonâSpore-Forming Gram-Positive Bacilli: Corynebacterium, Listeria, Erysipelothrix, Actinomycetes, and Related Pathogens. The nonâspore-forming gram-positive bacilli are a diverse group of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This chapter focuses on the aerobic members of this group. The anaerobic, nonâspore-forming gram-positive bacilli such as Propionibacterium species and Actinomyces species are discussed in Chapter 21 on anaerobic infections.
