Actinobacillus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that are typically nonmotile and aerobic. These bacteria usually appear spherical or rod-shaped under the microscope, although in some cases they may form branching filaments.
Actinobacillus species are primarily associated with diseases in animals. However, certain infections can be transmitted from animals to humans, making them relevant in veterinary and human medicine. Because of this zoonotic potential, understanding the characteristics of these bacteria is important in the prevention and management of animal-to-human infections.
