Bordetella is gm- aerobic
Vibrio is gm- fac. anerobic (non enterobacteriacea)
Not sure of Neisseria-help!

According to my Lange micro review book - neisseria and bordatella are strict aerobes and vibrio is faccultative anaerobe.

Here's a list I have:

G+ cocci, facculatative anaerobe = staph/strep
G- cocci, strict aerobes = neisseria

G+ baccilli, strict aerobes = bacillus
G+ baccilli, facculattive anaerobes= corynebacteria,listeria
G+ baccilli, anaerobes = clostridium

G- bacilli, stricty aerobes = pseudomonas, bordatella, legionella, francisella and shigella
G- bacilli, facculatative anaerobes = escherichia, enterobacter, haemophilus, seratia, klebsiella, yersinnia, salmonella, pasturella, proteus and shigella
G- bacilli, anaerobes = bacteriodes

Non gram staining baccilus, strict aerobe = mycobacteria

Non-gram staining spirochete, microaerophilic = borelia
Non-gram staining spirochete, strict anaerobe = treponema

Non gram staining curved rod, faccultative anaerobe = vibrio
Non gram staining curved rod, microaerophilic = campylobacter, helicobacter

Non gram staining, no cell wall, obligate intracellular = rickettsia, chlamydia

No cell wall, facculatative aerobe = mycoplasma



I had a nicer looking table but I cant paste it into here...
