Caulobacter   stalks anchor them to surfaces, found in low nutrient aquatic environments, faculatitive halophile, form buds to reproduce  
Hyphomicrobium sulfonivorans   reproduce by budding, isolated from tongue and tooth plaque, destroy compounds that cause bad breath  
Neisseria meningitidis   inflammation of the meninges, meningititis, have nonmotile fimbriae  
Neisseria gonorrhoeae   causes gonorrhea  
Thiobacillus   chemoautotrophic- makes its own food from chemicals,  
Sphaerotilus   chemoheterotophic - must find food souce  
Psuedomonas aeruginosa   can reside in soap reside, antiseptics, secretes blue water soluble pigment, causes septicemia, meningitis, infections of UTand burns and wounds, spoils food in frige, produces enzymes that digest pesticides, and oil.

Legionella pneumonphili   cooling towers of air conditioning systems, Legionelloisis, a pheumonia like condition  
Vibrio   bent rod  
Vibrio cholerae   causes cholera  
Enterobacteriales   facultative anaerobes, live in intestines, have fimbriae to adhere to cell surface, produce bacteriocins that cause the lysis of other bacteria, coliforms can break down lactose, used to indicate presence.

E. coli   food poisoning  
Salmonella   typhoid fever, and food poisoning, Mary Mallon healthy carrier of typhoid.  
Shigella   causes bacillary dysentery  
Klebsiella   causes pneumonia, capsulated  
Serratia   produces a orange-red pigment called prodigiosin, causes urinary, respiratory, wound, and eye infections, at 37 degrees no color, heat sensititive  
Proteus vulgaris   causes urinary and wound infectionsperitrichous flagela makes them very fast  
Enterobacter cloacae   urinary tract and respiratory infections  
Yersinia pestis   pneumonic, septicemic, and bubonic plague  
Bdellovibrio   lives in the periplasmic space of gram negative bacteria and causes lysis of host bacteria  
Myxococcus xanthus   lives as a biofilm called a swarm, hunts in wolf packs and leaves a slime trail, fruiting bodies make myxospores
