AB Bordetella  bronchiseptica  is  a  pleomorphic  gram-negative  coccobacillus  causing  kennel  cough  in  dogs.  On  occasion  it  causes  upper  and  lower  respiratory  infection  in  humans,  principally  HIV-infected  patients.  Infection  has  been  associated  with  contact  with  dogs  and  cats,  suggesting  animal-to-human  transmission.  Treatment  of  B  bronchiseptica  infection  is  guided  by  results  of  in  vitro  susceptibility  tests.
