Hi:

 

What is the smallest bacterium that fits all of the following categories?:

 

1. Not gram-negative

2. Free of lipopolysaccharide

3. Coagulase-negative

4. Relies solely on homolactate fermentation for energy and therefore does not generate any CO2.

5. Aerotolerant-anaerobic [can survive in oxygen but doesn't use it for respiration or otherwise require it].

6. Hemolysin-negative

7. Free of super-antigens

8. Non-allergenic

 

Please note this is not a homework question but simply a question of my genuine interest.

 

 

Thanks a bunch,

 

GX
