Pasteurella
__NOTOC__ ''Pasteurella'' is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria. ''Pasteurella'' species are nonmotile and pleomorphic, and often exhibit bipolar staining ("safety pin" appearance). Most species are catalase- and oxidase-positive. The genus is named after the French chemist and microbiologist, Louis Pasteur, who first identified the bacteria now known as '' Pasteurella multocida'' as the agent of chicken cholera. Pathogenesis Many ''Pasteurella'' species are zoonotic pathogens, and humans can acquire an infection from domestic animal bites. In cattle, sheep, and birds, ''Pasteurella'' species can cause a life-threatening pneumonia; in cats and dogs, however, ''Pasteurella'' is not a cause of disease, and constitutes part of the normal flora of the nose and mouth. ''Pasteurella haemolytica'' is a species that infects mainly cattle and horses: '' P. multocida'' is the most frequent causative agent in human ''Pasteurella'' infection. Common symptoms of pas ...

Pasteurella Canis
''Pasteurella canis'' is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus of the family Pasteurellaceae. Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans, which manifest themselves as skin or soft-tissue infections after an animal bite. It has been known to cause serious disease in immunocompromised patients. ''Pasteurella'' was first described around 1880 and thought to be associated with chicken cholera and hemorrhagic septicemia in animals. The genus was first cultured in 1885. In 1920, strains of ''Pasteurella'' were isolated and observed in human infections. Nomenclature “''Micrococcus gallicidus''” was the first scientific name used for these bacteria. For a short time, the bacteria were unofficially placed in different genera, such as ''Octopsis'', ''Coccobacillus'', and ''Eucystia''. In 1887, genus “''Pasteurella''” was proposed to honor Louis Pasteur for his critical discoveries in the field of microbiology. Before molecular tec ...
