Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A pathogenic bacterium causes infection and it has a number of species causing infectious disease in humans. The three common shapes of bacteria are sphere, rods, and spiral. Based on the oxygen requirement, bacteria can be broadly classified into anaerobic and aerobic. In clinical studies, these characteristics also help in the identification of the bacteria.
