Burgella

Burgella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the family Neisseriaceae. These Gram-negative bacteria are typically oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. They are known to be fastidious organisms, requiring specific growth conditions and nutrients for cultivation in laboratory settings.

Burgella species have been identified in various environments, including as commensals or opportunistic pathogens in animals. Further research is ongoing to fully characterize the roles and prevalence of different Burgella species. The genus is of interest in fields such as microbiology and veterinary medicine due to its potential clinical significance. Identifying and differentiating species within the genus can be challenging due to their similarities in morphology and biochemical characteristics, often requiring molecular techniques for accurate identification.
