HAEMOPHILUS PARAPHROHAEMOLYTICUS

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Haemophilus
Species: Haemophilus paraphrohaemolyticus
Description: Gram-negative coccobacilli or rods, occasionally short filaments.Colonies on chocolate agar incubated in air supplemented with 10% CO2 are high convex, granular, yellowish, opaque, 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter within 24 hours; without CO2, the growth is characteristically stunted, with very small colonies interspersed with a few larger colonies. Beta-hemolysis is produced. Aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, require V-factor but not X-factor for growth. Require CO2 enriched atmosphere. Growth on Mac Conkey agar is negative.
Synonyms:
Source: isolated from human sore throats, ulcers of the mouth, sputum and urethral discharge of adult males.
