MeSH definition : A genus of gram-negative, curved and spiral-shaped bacteria found in stagnant, freshwater
environments. These organisms are motile by bipolar tufts of flagella having a long
wavelength and about one helical turn. Some species of Spirillum cause a form of RAT-BITE
FEVER.;
MeSH annotation : infection: coord IM with GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIAL INFECTIONS (IM) or RAT-BITE FEVER
(IM);
