Class: Gammaproteobacteria
Order: Enterobacteriales
Family: Enterobacteriaceae
Genus: Escherichia
Species: E. coli
Binomial Name: Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli commonly abbreviated E. coli is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms called endotherms. It possesses a chromosome that has 300,000 twists in a microscopic space of 1100
microns. DNA’s information density is a staggering 1.88 X 1021 bits
per cm3. Clearly, DNA is the most advanced information system ever
devised. Its ability to store so much information in so little space defies
natural explanation and thus argues with evolution.

Scientific Classification:
Domain: Bacteria
Kingdom: Eubacteria
Phylum: Proteobacteria
Class: Deltaproteobacteria
Deltaproteobacteria belong to two orders, Desulfovibrionales and Myxococcales, which contain
ten families between the two. Both types of Delta Proteobacteria are
chemoorganotrophs, which means that they get their energy from organic
sources, independent of light. Novel members of the Deltaproteobacterial family
Desulfobulbaceae build “live wires” along the seafloor that play an important
role in ocean ecology especially. Shockingly, these microbes are only about
1/100 the diameter of the human hair. Such small creatures however possess an
elaborate structure possessing about seventeen channels down their exteriors
that match up from cell to cell, forming a continuous protective sheath,
similar to insulation. Moreover, these “cables” can regenerate and grow back
themselves. Evolutionists cannot just simply declare that these organisms
evolved to conduct electricity more effectively by transmitting electrons
through their interiors and then evolved to add insulating sheaths for
transmission improvement. They were created that way.

Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Bacteria
Phylum: Actinobacteria
Class: Actinobacteria
Order: Actinomycetales
Suborder: Corynebacterineae
Family: Mycobacteriaceae
Genus: Mycobacterium
Species: M. tuberculosis
Binomial Name: Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogenic bacterial species in the genus Mycobacterium and the causative agent of most cases of tuberculosis. It has an unusual, waxy coating on its cell surface, primarily mycolic acid, which makes the cells impervious to Gram staining (method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative). Mycobacterium requires oxygen to grow. It does not retain any bacteriological stain due to high lipid content in its wall. It does not seen to fit the gram-positive category because they do not retain the crystal violet stain; instead, they are classified as acid-fast Gram-positive bacteria due to their lack of an outer cell membrane. Mycobacterium's division rate is extremely slow compared to other bacteria (divides every 15-20 hours).

Streptococcus pneumoniae Source: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/streptococcus%20pneumoniae |
Scientific Classification:
Domain: Bacteria
Phylum: Firmicutes
Class: Cocci
Order: Lactobacillales
Family: Streptococcaceae
Genus: Streptococcus
Species: S. pneumoniae
Binomial Name: Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic, aerotolerant anaerobic member of the genus Streptococcus. Pneumococcus are slightly pointed cocci-shaped bacteria that are usually found in pairs (diplococci), but can also be individual and in short chains. Individual bacteria are between 0.5 and 1.25 micrometers in diameter. S. pneumonia do not form spores and are non-motile, though they sometimes have pili used for adherence. They are mesophillic, living optimally at temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius.

Scientific Classification:
Domain: Bacteria
Kingdom: Eubacteria
Phylum: Proteobacteria
Class: Gammaproteobacteria
Order: Pasteurellales
Family: Pasteurellaceae
Genus: Haemophilus
Species: H. influenzae
Binomial Name: Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae, formerly called Pfeiffer's
bacillus or Bacillus influenzae, is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. A
member of the Pasteurellaceae family, it is generally aerobic,
but can grow as a facultative anaerobe. There are two major categories of H. influenzae: the
unencapsulated strains and the encapsulated strains. Encapsulated
strains were classified on the basis of their distinct capsular antigens. Genetic diversity among unencapsulated strains is greater than within
the encapsulated group. Unencapsulated strains are termed nontypable
(NTHi) because they lack capsular serotypes; however, they can be
classified by multilocus sequence typing.Their capsule allows them to resist phagocytosis and complement-mediated lysis in the nonimmune host.
