Bdellovibrio |
The Bdellovibrionaceae are a family of Proteobacteria, given their own order. They include genera, such as Bdellovibrio and Bacteriovorax, which are unusual parasites that enter other bacteria. Thus, these bacteria may provide a potential novel method to control some bacterial pathogens.
