Sortable tables are a great way of finding common traits for a subset of bacteria, especially if the filter section above the table is used to narrow down the search. All columns perform text sorting.
Table features:
Clicking on a Species link opens a new browser Tab - this preserves the original list.
Text-sortable - click on the table heading to sort. Note that numbers are considered text at the moment, so they will sort like 1, 10, 11... rather than numerically.
Some fields are filterable - see the filter box to the left of the table. Multiple filters can be employed at once.
Total and Filtered counts - see at the bottom of the filter box for the number of filtered entries.
Most entries are self explanatory and tend to follow convention, while others might be unfamiliar. The table below summarises the shorthand used.
| Attribute | Shorthand | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| General response | + | Positive response for >85% of strains |
| neg | Negative response for >85% of strains | |
| d | Positive response for 35-65% of strains | |
| d(+) | Positive response for 65-85% of strains | |
| d(neg) | Positive response for 15-35% of strains | |
| w | Weak response | |
| vr | Reported as variable, either between strains or publications | |
| unk | Unknown | |
| O2 tolerance | ANA | Anaerobe |
| SANA | Strict, or obligate anaerobe | |
| AER | Aerobe | |
| SAER | Strict, or obligate aerobe | |
| FANA | Facultative anaerobe | |
| Micr | Microaerobe | |
| AeroTol | Aerotolerant | |
| Bile tolerance | 20(+) | Tolerates 20% bile |
| 20(neg) | Intolerant to 20% bile | |
| Antibiotic response | S | Sensitive (Sens) |
| R | Resistant (Res) | |
| W | Inhibitory range (RNG) | |
| M | Mixed, variable sensitivity (Var, vr) | |
| KB | Kirby-Bauer disc with indicated level of antibiotic | |
| MIC50 | Minimum inhibitory concentration at 50% | |
| MIC90 | Minimum inhibitory concentration at 90% | |
| Milk reaction | curdle | The milk curdles, usually indicated a positive casein hydrolysis reaction |
