Moraxella pluranimalium is a Gram-negative, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium in the genus Moraxella. It was originally isolated from the nasal turbinate of a pig in Spain.[1][2]
The species name pluranimalium is derived from the Latin pluri- (many) and animalium (of animals), referring to its isolation from multiple animal species.[1]
