  • Cannot survive long in the environment, therefore carrier animals are important in their transmission
  • Cause granulomatous inflammation


Actinobacillus characteristics

  • Small Gram negative coccobacilli
  • Oxidase negative
  • Do not grow on MacConkey
  • Non-motile
  • Facultative anaerobes which ferment carbohydrates to produce acid

Actinobacillus lignieresii

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

Actinobacillus equuli

Actinobacillus suis
