__NOTOC__ ''Pasteurella'' is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work= List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature )〕 ''Pasteurella'' species are nonmotile and pleomorphic. Most species are catalase- and oxidase-positive.〔Health Protection Agency (2007). (Identification of ''Pasteurella'' species and morphologically similar bacteria (.pdf) ). National Standard Method BSOP ID 13 Issue 2.1.〕 The genus is named after the French chemist and microbiologist, Louis Pasteur, who first identified the bacteria now known as Pasteurella multocida as the agent of chicken cholera. ==Pathogenesis== :''See: Pasteurellosis'' Many ''Pasteurella'' species are zoonotic pathogens, and humans can acquire an infection from domestic pet bites.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.rcjournal.com/contents/12.04/12.04.1528.pdf )〕 ''P. multocida'' is the most frequent causative agent in human ''Pasteurella'' infection. Common symptoms of pasteurellosis in humans include swelling, cellulitis, and bloody drainage at the site of the wound. Infections may progress to nearby joints where it can cause swelling and arthritis. ''Pasteurella'' spp. are generally susceptible to chloramphenicol, the penicillins, tetracycline, and the macrolides. ''Pasteurella'' cells occur in many cats' mouths, a large percentage of dogs' mouths, and frequently in rabbits. This is in perfectly normal and otherwise healthy animals. The common occurrence of the bacteria is a reason to be medically proactive and defensive (antibacterial treatments are often necessary) if a bite occurs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pasteurella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
