Actinobacillus
''Actinobacillus'' is a genus of Gram-negative, nonmotile and non-spore-forming, oval to rod-shaped bacteria occurring as parasites or pathogens in mammals, birds, and reptiles. It is a member of the family Pasteurellaceae. The bacteria are facultatively anaerobic or aerobic, capable of fermenting carbohydrates (without production of gas), and of reducing nitrates. The genomic DNA contains between 40 and 47 mol % guanine plus cytosine. ''Actinobacillus'' ('' Pasteurella'') ''ureae'' and ''A. hominis'' occur in the respiratory tracts of healthy humans and may be involved in the pathogenesis of sinusitis, bronchopneumonia, and meningitis. ''A. actinomycetemcomitans'' occurs in the human oral microflora, and together with anaerobic or capnophilic organisms ( HACEK group organisms) may cause endocarditis. Actinobacilli are susceptible to most antibiotics of the beta-lactam family, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, and many other antibacterial chemotherapeut ...

Actinobacillus Equuli
''Actinobacillus equuli'' is a gram-negative, non-motile rod bacteria from the family Pasteurellaceae. ''A. equuli'' is classified as a bio-containment level 2 organism under the U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines. Biochemical differentiation tests with positive results are: catalase, urease and oxidase tests. ''Actinobacillus equuli'' subspecies ''equuli'' is not hemolytic and is found in equine and porcine hosts. Another subspecies exists and is classified as ''Actinobacillus equuli'' subsp. ''haemolyticus'' which is positive for hemolysis and is found in horses and very rarely in rabbits. Occasionally, humans can become infected with ''A. equuli,'' more commonly as a result from destruction to the skin barrier, such as a horse bite. ''A. equuli'' can commonly be isolated from the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity of adult healthy horses and can be important for diseases of foals, adult horses and pigs. It is a commensal bacteria unless it multiplies to overwhelmi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
