Taylorella
Sign in to saveTaylorella is a genus comprising Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, chemoorganotrophic bacteria that include species that are the causative agents of contagious equine metritis. The name Taylorella serves as a dedication to C.E.D. Taylor, the scientist who identified the only species originally included in this genus. They are non-motile microaerophiles that are able to be isolated in pure culture on chocolate agar. .

Taylorella is a genus comprising Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, chemoorganotrophic bacteria that include species that are the causative agents of contagious equine metritis. The name Taylorella serves as a dedication to C.E.D. Taylor, the scientist who identified the only species originally included in this genus. They are non-motile microaerophiles that are able to be isolated in pure culture on chocolate agar. .
== Phylogeny == The genus Taylorella was first identified by C.E.D Taylor in 1978. It was formerly classified under the genus Haemophilus, and there was originally considerable debate on whether it is more closely related to Moraxella. Due to further investigation by DNA: DNA hybridization and genomic characteristics of this genus, Sugimoto et al. 1983 proposed the creation of a new genus that would include two species isolated from the family Equidae. The species include: Taylorella equigenitalis: causes contagious equine metritis in horses. Taylorella asinigenitalis: found in the genital tract of donkeys, this species is not pathogenic.
