SPECIES INFO
Chancroid is caused by Haemophilus ducreyi. This is called soft chancre. This is caused by rod that occurs in strands. This disease appears as lesions on the skin that bleed easily. This venereal disease can be treated with antibiotics.

Members of the genus Haemophilus can cause respiratory infections, chancroid, conjunctivitis, and meningitis.

Eubacteria, the true Bacteria, is the group that contains most of the Bacteria that impact on our daily lives. Some of the diseases caused by Bacteria are: Cholera, Lyme Disease, Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, Syphilis, and Gonorrhea.

Science has only begun the task or properly organizing this group of lifeforms into a taxonomy tree. The medical profession has begun with the disease causing organisms and has worked from the bottom up. They have been using various shapes and various forms of locomotion for criteria. On the other micro-biologists have been working from the top down. The result is a large open area in the middle. Here we have arbitrarily used the Bergey system for organizing disease causing bacteria in the first several classes, and have placed the algae groups in the higher classes.

Monera phylum includes the various bacteria. These are somewhat cellular organisms, but they lack a cell nucleus. Many of these organisms cause serious illness in humans. The diseases include Botulishm, Cholera, Diptheria, Gonorrhea, Lyme Disease, Plagues, Salmonellosis, Syphilis, Tetanus, Typhoid, and TB.
