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. [1] It is a member of the family Pasteurellaceae . [ 2 ]
Actinobacillosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Actinobacillus. [1] It is more commonly associated with animals than with humans. [2]One of the most common forms seen by veterinarians is mouth actinobacillosis of cattle, due to Actinobacillus lignieresii.
HACEK is an abbreviation of the initials of the genera of this group of bacteria: Haemophilus, Aggregatibacter (previously Actinobacillus), Cardiobacterium, Eikenella, Kingella. [1] The HACEK organisms are a normal part of the human microbiota, living in the oral-pharyngeal region. [2]
Aggregatibacter is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (), which contains three species, namely: . A. actinomycetemcomitans (Klinger 1912) Nørskov-Lauritsen and Kilian 2006, (type species of the genus); (from Greek noun aktis, aktinos (ἀκτίς, ἀκτῖνος), a beam; Greek mukēs -ētos, mushroom or other fungus; Neo-Latin actinomyces-etis, an actinomycete; Latin comitans ...
Actinobacillus equuli is a gram-negative, non-motile rod bacteria from the family Pasteurellaceae. [ 1 ] A. equuli is classified as a bio-containment level 2 organism under the U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines. [ 2 ]
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a nonmotile, Gram-negative, encapsulated coccobacillus bacterium found in the family Pasteurellaceae. [4] [5] It exhibits β-hemolysis activity, [6] thus explaining its growth on chocolate or blood agar, but must be supplemented with NAD ('V factor') to facilitate growth for one of its biological variants (biovar 1). [3]
Actinobacillus suis is a beta-haemolytic, Gram-negative bacterium of the family Pasteurellaceae. The bacterium has many strains and is the pathogen responsible for actinobacillosis in pigs of all ages. It can also infect wild birds, domestic ruminants, dogs, cats, and horses.
Actinobacillus succinogenes is a bacterium. It is a succinic acid -producing strain first isolated from the bovine rumen . It is a facultatively anaerobic, pleomorphic , Gram-negative rod.
