Gram-Negative aerobic rods and cocciMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Gram-Negative aerobic rods and cocci;
MeSH definition : A group of gram-negative bacteria consisting of rod- and coccus-shaped cells. They
are both aerobic (able to grow under an air atmosphere) and microaerophilic (grow
better in low concentrations of oxygen) under nitrogen-fixing conditions but, when
supplied with a source of fixed nitrogen, they grow as aerobes.;
MeSH synonym : gram negative aerobic rods and cocci;
MeSH annotation : avoid: too general; prefer specific families & genera; infection: coord IM with GRAM-NEGATIVE
BACTERIAL INFECTIONS (IM); DF: GRAM NEG AEROBIC RODS;
