List of bacterial genera named after institutions
Several bacterial species are named after institutions, including acronyms which are spelled as they would be read; e.g., CDC becomes Ce+de+ce+a. The names are changed in the female nominative case, either by changing the ending to -a or to the diminutive -ella, depending on the name.[1]
