Gallibacterium anatis, formerly Pasteurella anatis, is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus in the family Pasteurellaceae.^[1]^[2]

Members of this family can cause zoonotic infections in humans, typically manifesting as skin or soft tissue infections following animal bites. G. anatis is primarily found in chickens.^[3]

Infected chickens may exhibit sinusitis, nasal discharge, a drop in egg production, and low mortality.^[4]
