Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?
Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?
Is moraxella catarrhalis haemolytic?
Morazella catarrhalis is non-hemolytic, but will grow on chocolate blood agar plates.
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.
Are Moraxella cocci?
No, Moraxella are short rods that occur in pairs.
How do you recognize diplococci?
A diplococcus is a round bacterium that typically occurs in pairs of two joined cells. Examples are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. Of these, all are Gram-negative except for Streptococcus Pneumoniae.Its name comes from diplo, meaning double, and coccus, meaning berry.In former times, a bacterial genusDiplococcus was recognized, but it is not used anymore.
Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?
Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?
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.
Is moraxella catarrhalis haemolytic?
Morazella catarrhalis is non-hemolytic, but will grow on chocolate blood agar plates.
Is moraxella catarrhalis gram positive or gram negative?
gram negative
What infections can lead to sinusitis?
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes about 33% of all cases, while Haemophilus influenzae causes about 25% of all cases. Sinusitis in children may be caused by Moraxella catarrhalis (20%).

Will Moraxella grow on maconkey agar?
No
What is moraxella?
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
What does co amoxiclav 625 treat?
It is effective on treatment of both Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Infections, Skin Infections, Genito-Urinary Tract Infections, Meningitis and Septicemia. Co-amoxiclav is active against Streptococci, Pneumococci, Enterococci, Haemphilus Influenzae, Escherichia Coli, Proteus Mirabilis, Neisseria Meningitidis, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Shigella, Salmonella and Moraxella Catarrhalis.
