Overview

  • Actinobacillus minor is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 38.2%. Actinobacillus minor is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Moller1996)



  • This organism has been recovered from pigs. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. It is an opportunistic pathogen. Unlikely to be a commensal.
