	~~== Characteristics ==~~		The '''Cardiobacteriaceae''' are a family of [[Gram-negative bacteria]] within the order [[Cardiobacteriales]].

The most notable genus within this family is ''[[Cardiobacterium]]'', which includes the species ''[[Cardiobacterium hominis]]''.

	Members of the Cardiobacteriaceae family are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacteria. They are typically [[aerobic bacteria\|aerobic]] or [[facultative anaerobic bacteria\|facultative anaerobic]], and are capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite.		=== Characteristics ===

	~~== Pathogenicity ==~~		Members of the Cardiobacteriaceae family are characterized by their [[Gram-negative]] cell wall structure, which is typical of many [[Proteobacteria]]. They are facultatively anaerobic, meaning they can survive in both the presence and absence of [[oxygen]]. These bacteria are often found as part of the normal flora of the human [[oropharynx]], but they can become pathogenic under certain conditions.

	Several species within the Cardiobacteriaceae family are known to be pathogenic. For example, [[Cardiobacterium hominis]] is a common cause of [[endocarditis]], a serious infection of the heart valves. [[Dichelobacter nodosus]] is the causative agent of foot rot in sheep, a highly contagious and debilitating disease.		=== Pathogenicity ===

	~~== Treatment ==~~		''Cardiobacterium hominis'' is the most clinically significant species within the Cardiobacteriaceae family. It is a rare cause of [[infective endocarditis]], an infection of the inner lining of the [[heart]] chambers and valves. This condition is often associated with pre-existing heart conditions or [[dental procedures]] that allow the bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

	Treatment of infections caused by Cardiobacteriaceae typically involves the use of [[antibiotics]]. The choice of antibiotic depends on the specific species causing the infection, as well as the patient's overall health and other factors.		=== Diagnosis and Treatment ===

	~~== See also ==~~		Diagnosis of infections caused by Cardiobacteriaceae typically involves [[blood cultures]] and [[molecular techniques]] such as [[PCR]] to identify the bacterial species. Treatment usually involves prolonged courses of [[antibiotics]], as these bacteria can be resistant to some common antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic may depend on the specific susceptibility profile of the bacterial isolate.

'''Cardiobacteriaceae''' is a family of [[Gram-negative bacteria]] that are part of the order [[Cardiobacteriales]]. This family includes two genera, [[Cardiobacterium]] and [[Dichelobacter]], and several species that are known to cause diseases in humans and animals.

== Taxonomy ==

The family Cardiobacteriaceae is part of the order Cardiobacteriales, which belongs to the class [[Gammaproteobacteria]] in the phylum [[Proteobacteria]]. The family includes two recognized genera, Cardiobacterium and Dichelobacter.

== Characteristics ==

Members of the Cardiobacteriaceae family are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacteria. They are typically [[aerobic bacteria|aerobic]] or [[facultative anaerobic bacteria|facultative anaerobic]], and are capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite.

== Pathogenicity ==

Several species within the Cardiobacteriaceae family are known to be pathogenic. For example, [[Cardiobacterium hominis]] is a common cause of [[endocarditis]], a serious infection of the heart valves. [[Dichelobacter nodosus]] is the causative agent of foot rot in sheep, a highly contagious and debilitating disease.

== Treatment ==

Treatment of infections caused by Cardiobacteriaceae typically involves the use of [[antibiotics]]. The choice of antibiotic depends on the specific species causing the infection, as well as the patient's overall health and other factors.
