Bacteria of Pasteurellaceae family are commensal tothe upper respiratory tract of many vertebrate species.Histophilus somni, Pasteurella multocidaand Mannheimia hemolyticaare among the main bacteria associated with the pathogen complex animal respiratory diseases.
The impact of such respiratory infections can be significant especially in cattle herds where we would observestunted growth, decline in milk productionor evenanimal death.
Because early detection of Pasteurellaceae is essential to avoid spreading of the decease, CHROMagar™ has developedthe only specific culture mediaable todetect Pasteurellaceae.
