Neisseria animaloris, formerly named CDC group EF-4a, is a gram-negative coccoid rod.The bacterium is a commensal of the upper respiratory tract of cats and dogs, and they may cause pulmonary infections in cat. [1]
Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans. These infections manifest themselves as skin or soft tissue infections after an animal bite. This species is found in chickens. [2] Infected chicken may exhibit sinusitis, nasal discharge, drop in egg production, and low mortality. [3]
Pasteurella canis is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus of the family Pasteurellaceae. [1] Bacteria from this family cause zoonotic infections in humans, which manifest themselves as skin or soft-tissue infections after an animal bite.

An animal bite is a wound, usually a puncture or laceration, caused by the teeth. An animal bite usually results in a break in the skin but also includes contusions from the excessive pressure on body tissue from the bite. The contusions can occur without a break in the skin. Bites can be provoked or unprovoked.
Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus of the family Pasteurellaceae. [1] Strains of the species are currently classified into five serogroups (A, B, D, E, F) based on capsular composition and 16 somatic serovars (1–16).
Genes for antibiotic resistance have gradually spread among other pathogenic bacterial species by horizontal gene transfer. [10] Susceptibility to various beta-lactam antibiotics has been described as variable depending on the strain of Capnocytophaga. [11] This resistance is often linked to the production of beta- lactamases.
In the United States, florfenicol is indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni, for treatment of bovine interdigital phlegmon (foot rot, acute interdigital necrobacillosis, infectious pododermatitis) associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum and Prevotella melaninogenica.
