Granulibacter bethesdensis is a Gram-negative, aerobic coccobacillus to rod-shaped, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative bacteria first described in 2006 by Dr. Steve Holland's team at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.[1]

Clinical Significance
Granulibacter bethesdensis was identified in a series of patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).[1] In a later study, nearly half of patients with CGD tested and a quarter of healthy volunteers showed some immunoreactivity to Granulibacter bethesdensis, suggesting infections with this organism occur more often than it is isolated.[2]
gollark: That would be cool. I should do this.
gollark: Great.
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Do so?!
gollark: * what *they* did
gollark: Tell Arash that gollark knows what he did, and bees are approaching.
