Moraxella bovis is not airborne - it is spread through flies or by direct contact between animals.
Moraxella catarrhalis might be a commensal of the human respiratory tract (meaning it is naturally found there). It is believed that it should not cause disease unless there are other underlying factors (such as immunocompromise).
Airborne transmission, if it occured, would therefore not be expected to cause disease.

What color is moraxella catarrhalis after the decolorizer is used?
Moraxella catarrhalis is a Gram negative bacterium. Thus, after the decolorizer is used, its thin cell wall won't retain the primary stain. The stain is washed away, and Moraxella catarrhalis is colorless.
