member of: #family_Bacteroidaceae__Bacteroidaceae family of bacteria living usually in the alimentary canal or on mucous surfaces of warm-blooded animals; sometimes associated with acute infective processes

member of: #division_Eubacteria one-celled monerans having simple cells with rigid walls and (in motile types) flagella
member of: #kingdom_Monera__Monera prokaryotic bacteria and blue-green algae and various primitive pathogens; because of lack of consensus on how to divide the organisms into phyla informal names are used for the major divisions
