AB This  is  a  group  of  small,  Gram-negative,  pleomorphic  bacteria  that  require  enriched  media,  usually  containing  blood  or  its  derivatives,  for  isolation.  Haemophilus  influenzae  is  a  major  human  pathogen;  Haemophilus  ducreyi,  a  sexually  transmitted  pathogen,  causes  chancroid;  six  other  Haemophilus  species  are  among  the  normal  microbiota  of  mucous  membranes  and  only  occasionally  cause  human  disease.  Haemophilus  aphrophilus  and  Haemophilus  paraphrophilus  have  been  combined  into  a  single  new  species  Aggregatibacter  aphrophilus;  likewise,  Haemophilus  segnis  is  now  a  member  of  the  Aggregatibacter  genus  (Table  18-1).
