What is pfeiffer bacillus?

Pfeiffer bacillus, also known as Haemophilus influenzae, is a gram-negative bacterium that can cause a range of diseases, including meningitis, pneumonia, and otitis media. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets and can affect individuals of any age, but particularly infants and young children. The bacterium has a high rate of mutation, which makes it challenging to develop effective vaccines. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin and ceftriaxone are commonly used to treat Pfeiffer bacillus infections. Proper hygiene practices such as hand-washing and covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing can also help prevent the spread of this bacterium.
