Gallibacterium anatis

Gallibacterium anatis, formerly Pasteurella anatis, is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus in the family Pasteurellaceae.

Members of this family can cause zoonotic infections in humans, typically manifesting as skin or soft tissue infections following animal bites. G. anatis is primarily found in chickens.

Infected chickens may exhibit sinusitis, nasal discharge, a drop in egg production, and low mortality.
