| Pasteurellaceae| Pasteurellaceae Pohl 1981

1. Pathogenic Species:

   • Some members of Pasteurellaceae are known to be pathogenic to both animals and humans. In humans, Pasteurella multocida, a member of this family, is associated with various infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and more rarely, systemic infections.

2. Respiratory Infections:

   • Certain species within Pasteurellaceae are commonly associated with respiratory infections in both animals and humans. In humans, Pasteurella multocida can cause respiratory tract infections, particularly in individuals who have close contact with animals, such as pets.

3. Animal Health:

   • In veterinary medicine, Pasteurellaceae is of significance due to its involvement in various diseases affecting livestock and domestic animals. Respiratory diseases, pneumonia, and septicemia are examples of conditions associated with Pasteurellaceae infections in animals.

4. Zoonotic Potential:

   • Pasteurellaceae species have zoonotic potential, meaning they can be transmitted between animals and humans. Zoonotic infections may occur through bites, scratches, or contact with respiratory secretions or contaminated materials from infected animals.

5. Commensal and Mutualistic Species:

   • While some members of Pasteurellaceae can be pathogenic, others exist as commensals or mutualistic bacteria in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. They may contribute to the normal microbiota without causing disease.

6. Antibiotic Resistance:

   • Some Pasteurellaceae species have been associated with antibiotic resistance, which can complicate the treatment of infections caused by these bacteria. Monitoring and understanding antibiotic resistance patterns are important for effective clinical management.

7. Research and Medical Importance:

   • Certain species within Pasteurellaceae are actively studied for their role in infectious diseases. Understanding their virulence factors, pathogenic mechanisms, and interactions with the host immune system is crucial for developing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
