| Description: | Gram-negative nonmotile and facultatively anaerobic bacterium. It is
a member of the normal florae of the upper respiratory tract of a
number of animals. It is a frequent cause of opportunistic infections
on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts
of mammals and birds. Causes hemorrhagic septicemia of cattle, fowl
cholera and pneumonia in farm animals. P.multocida is often endemic in
rabbit colonies causing upper respiratory disease. It is usually
acquired by humans from the bite or scratch of a dog or cat. Infection
develops at the site of the wound and can spread via the lymphatics or
hematogenously to a number of other organs. The organism is unusually
sensitive to penicillin.
