Moraxella catarrhalis is a human pathogen with an affinity for the human upper respiratory tract and the middle ear. Other primates, such as macaques, might become infected by this bacterium. [2] Rodents including rats, mice, and chinchillas have been used to study Moraxella catarrhalis with varying degrees of success. [3]
If there is any blood in the sputum, this should also be on the swab. [citation needed] Microbiological sputum samples are used to look for infections, such as Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae. Other pathogens can also be found.

(Some swab handles have been made of nichrome or stainless steel wire. [3] [10]) The swab material used for a particular diagnostic application may vary based on the test type. Some research has shown that flocked swabs collect a larger volume of the sample material, when compared to fiber swabs. [7] [11]

Moraxella is a genus of gram-negative bacteria in the family Moraxellaceae. It is named after the Swiss ophthalmologist Victor Morax . The organisms are short rods , coccobacilli , or as in the case of Moraxella catarrhalis , diplococci in morphology, with asaccharolytic, oxidase -positive, and catalase -positive properties. [ 2 ]

The Gonochek II test, a commercial biochemical test, is used to differentiate between Neisseria lactamica, Neisseria meningitidis, N. gonorrhoeae and Moraxella catarrhalis. The principle behind this test is to use enzymes native to the organism to create a colored product in the presence of foreign molecules. The chemical 5-bromo-4-chloro-3 ...
