 David Hendricks Bergey

(1860-1937)
Born: December 27, 1860 in Skippack, Pennsylvania.

Died: September 5, 1937 in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

Bergey received training in bacteriology from Professor

Henry Formad, who was twice in Koch's laboratory.

He practiced his career as a doctor for 10 years, then

continued his studies as a scholarship recipient and in
1895 he was a chemistry assistant and a year later first
assistant. He taught classes in bacteriology and
hygiene and in 1926 he was appointed professor of
these disciplines.

 How it started
Manual?
In 1984, the first edition of a manual focused more on classification than identification
was published: Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology.

He began writing it when he was president of the Society of American

Bacteriologists and undertook the task of revising the
old classifications to create completely renewed ones.

1937: C, Robert Stanley Breed, 1877-1956; D, Everitt GD Murray,
1890-1964.
Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology is the main resource for determining the identity of
prokaryotic organisms, emphasizing bacterial species, using all aspects
characteristic.

DOMAIN /PHYLLUM / CLASS / ORDER / SUBORDER / FAMILY / GENUS / SPECIES

According to the classification of Bergey's Manual, the taxonomy

bacterial mycobacteria is shown as follows:
1. DOMAIN: BACTERIA
2. PHYLLUM: BXIV ACTINOBACTERIA
3. CLASS: ACTINOBACTERIA
4. SUBCLASS: ACTINOBACTERIDAE
5. ORDER: ACTINOMYCETALES
6. SUBORDER: CORYNEBACTERINEAE
7. FAMILY: MYCOBACTERIACEAE

In 2001 the first of five volumes of the second edition of Bergey's Manual of
Systematic Bacteriology appeared. This second edition will be published in five
volumes, and will contain more ecological than clinical information. No further
volumes have been published so far.
The properties used for differentiation are: microscopic morphological
characteristics, colony morphology and pigmentation, growth and nutrition
conditions, physiology and metabolism, genetic characteristics, plasmids and
bacteriophages, antigenic structure, pathogenicity and ecology. In general, each
species includes the type strain.
 Vo lumens
Volume I:
(EITHER)
It deals with the domain Archaea, in its entirety and with some special Gram-negative bacteria, such as Cyanobacteria. In this
volume there are almost no bacteria of clinical importance.
Volume II:
Proteobacteria, Gram negative bacteria. Divided into five sections (alpha, beta, delta, gamma and epsilon proteobacteria), the kingdom
Proteobacteria groups most of the Gram-negative bacteria of clinical importance.
Neisseria, Brucella, Legionella, Pseudomonas, Haemophilus, Campylobacter and Enterobacteria, belong to this kingdom.
Volume III:
It will deal with Gram positives with low G+C content.
Here genera such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Clostridium and Bacillus will appear
Volume IV:
It will contain a single section that will group all Gram positives with high G+C content. The best-known genera in this volume will be
Mycobacterium and Corynebacterium.
Volume V will deal with other Gram-negative bacteria, grouped into eight different sections. They do not have any factors in common.
The most important genera from a clinical point of view will be Chlamydia, Treponema, Borrelia or Bacteroides
