Bacteroidia
The class Bacteroidia is composed of two orders of bacteria, the Bacteroidales and the Marinilabiliales. Members of the order Bacteroidales are by far the most studied species within the phylum Bacteroidetes. Some species of the genus Bacteroides are opportunistic pathogens.[1] Before the fourth volume of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology came out, the class Bacteroidia was referred to as Bacteroidetes, like the phylum it belongs to.[2]
