II. Pathophysiology
- Pasteurellaceae is a family of facultative Anaerobic Gram Negative Rods
- Bacteria in the genus Haemophilus are coccobacilli
- Pasteurellaceae Bacteria are non-spore forming and non-motile
III. Types
- Genus: Pasteurella
- Pasteurella Multocida
- See Infected Cat Bite
- Facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile rod (or coccobacillus)
- Colonizes the mouth of animals and birds (esp. cats) with risk of Zoonosis
- Most common cause of an Infected Cat Bite
- May cause pneumonic pateurellosis (shipping fever) and hemorrhagic bacteremia
- Pasteurella Multocida
- Genus: Actinobacillus
- Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Periodontal Disease)
- Genus: Haemophilus (coccobacilli)
- Haemophilus Influenzae
- Now includes strains reclassified as non-typable biogroups (Haemophilus aegyptius, Haemophilus haemolyticus)
- Haemophilus ducreyi
- Causes Chancroid (painful Genital Ulcers and matted Lymphadenopathy)
- Less common Haemophilus species included in HACEK Bacteria (among the causes of Bacterial Endocarditis)
- Haemophilus parainfluenzae
- Haemophilus aphrophilus
- Haemophilus paraphrophilus
- Previously classified as Haemophilus, but now reclassified
- Gardnerella Vaginalis (previously Haemophilus Vaginalis, Corynebacterium Vaginale)
- Among the causes of Bacterial Vaginosis
- Facultatively anaerobic, Gram Positive, rod shaped Bacteria
- Cell wall is thin that takes up Gram Stain poorly, and may appear Gram Negative
- Unlike Haemophilus species, does not require X or V Factor for growth
- Gardnerella Vaginalis (previously Haemophilus Vaginalis, Corynebacterium Vaginale)
- Haemophilus Influenzae

| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
Haemophilus is the name of a group of bacteria. There are several types of Haemophilus. They can cause different types of illnesses involving breathing, bones and joints, and the nervous system. One common type, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), causes serious disease. It usually strikes children under 5 years old. Your child can get Hib disease by being around other children or adults who may have the bacteria and not know it. The germs spread from person to person. If the germs stay in the child's nose and throat, the child probably will not get sick. But sometimes the germs spread into the lungs or the bloodstream, and then Hib can cause serious problems such as meningitis and pneumonia. There is a vaccine to prevent Hib disease. All children younger than 5 years of age should be vaccinated with the Hib vaccine. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention |
