Definition
A type of bacterium that forms grape-like clusters and can cause infections, particularly in horses and other animals.
Etymology
From Greek botryos (bunch of grapes) + mykes (fungus, though used loosely for microorganisms). Named for its cluster appearance even though it's actually a bacterium, not a fungus.
Kelly Says
Scientists named this bacterium thinking it was a fungus because of its grape-like clustering, and the wrong-name stuck—it's like a creature christened with the wrong species name at birth and living with it forever, a reminder that naming things is hard even for experts.
