Meaning
Bacter is a Neolatin term coined from bacterium, which in turn derives from the Greek βακτήριον, meaning small staff (diminutive of βακτηρία). Consequently it formally means "rod".It differs from the suffix -bacterium in grammatical gender, the former being male and the latter being neuter, this was decided in a juridical opinion of the bacteriological code (n° 3).
Nevertheless, for historical reasons, two archaeal species finish in -bacter: Methanobrevibacter

and Methanothermobacter

.
Usage
The Judicial Opinion n° 2 discusses the declension of the word given that many authors assumed the genitive to be bactris (3rd decl. words of Latin origin ending in ter), bacteri (2nd decl.) or bacteris (3rd, words of Greek origin, like astrisAstris
In Greek mythology, Astris was one of the Heliades, daughters of Helios, either by the Oceanid Clymene or the Oceanid Ceto. She married the river god Hydaspes and became mother of Deriades, king in India....
), and opts for the latter. consequently higher taxa are formed with the stem - bacter- and not -bactr-. In Juridical opinion n° 3 it was established to be masculine.
For example Campylobacter
Campylobacter
Campylobacter is a genus of bacteria that are Gram-negative, spiral, and microaerophilic. Motile, with either unipolar or bipolar flagella, the organisms have a characteristic spiral/corkscrew appearance and are oxidase-positive. Campylobacter jejuni is now recognized as one of the main causes...
is a genus of Campylobacterales
Campylobacterales
The Campylobacterales are an order of Proteobacteria. They make up the epsilon subdivision, together with the small family Nautiliaceae. Like all Proteobacteria, they are Gram-negative. Most of the species are microaerophilic....
.
It should be noted that these rules were established so that the specific epithets were paired with the correct gender as imposed by the Bacteriological code and the correct higher taxa were formed.
An interesting effect of this is that the genus Fibrobacter gives its name to the phylum Fibrobacteres
Fibrobacteres
Fibrobacteres is a small bacterial phylum which includes many of the major rumen bacteria, allowing for the degradation of plant-based cellulose in ruminant animals. Members of this phylum were categorized in other phyla...
, which obeys Latin grammar, and to the class Fibrobacteria, which follows the recommendation of using the suffix -ia
