Is Moraxella an airborne pathogen?
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.
