pasteuruara

Pasteuruara is a genus of bacteria that belong to the family Pasteurellaceae, which is part of the order Pasteurellales. These bacteria are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and are known for their role in various diseases in humans and animals. The genus Pasteuruara was first described by the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur in 1886, and it is named in his honor.

Pasteuruara is a small genus that includes only a few species. The most well-known species is Pasteuruara multocida, which is a significant pathogen in poultry and can cause severe economic losses in the poultry industry. This bacterium is also known to infect humans, causing diseases such as pasteurellosis and rat-bite fever.

Another notable species is Pasteuruara aerogenes, which is a common inhabitant of the human oral cavity and is often isolated from dental plaque. It is also known to cause infections in humans, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

Pasteuruara bacteria are typically transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated surfaces. They are often resistant to certain antibiotics, which can complicate their treatment. Proper hygiene and vaccination are important preventive measures against pasteurellosis and related diseases.
