Medical Definition of Gram-negative aerobic rods and cocci
1.
A group of gram-negative bacteria consisting of rod- and coccus-shaped cells.
They are both aerobic (able to grow under an air atmosphere) and microaerophilic (grow better in low concentrations of oxygen) under nitrogen-fixing conditions but, when supplied with a source of fixed nitrogen, they grow as aerobes.
