Bisgaardia

Bisgaardia is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae. The genus was first described in 2011 following the isolation of Bisgaardia hudsonensis from marine mammals, including narwhals (Monodon monoceros) and beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas). A second species, Bisgaardia miroungae, was later described from the oral cavity of a northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris).
