Vacuolating cytotoxic activity of Pasteurella multocida causing haemorrhagic septicaemia in buffalo and cattle

New sites of localisation of Pasteurella multocida B:2 in buffalo surviving experimental haemorrhagic septicaemia

BACKGROUND Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is an acute septicaemic disease of buffalo and cattle caused by Pasteurella multocida B:2 and E:2. Field outbreaks of HS are known to result in localisation of bacteria in the tonsils of surviving buffalo, confirming that animals can become carriers and the role of respiratory tract in the transmission of the disease. This report describes additional sit...

Analysis of Pasteurella Multocida Strains Isolated from Cattle with Haemorrhagic Septicaemia by the Use of Pfge

Forty Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida strains collected from cattle with haemorrhagic septicaemia belonging to serotype B:2, 5 and two reference strains of serotype B:2, were examined. The strains were isolated in the years 1958 to 1962 and 1985 to 1995. Analysis of the polimorfism of restricted DNA fragments by the use of the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) technique of contour-...

A biochemical and serological study of strains of Pasteurella multocida associated with haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffaloes in Srilanka

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Asian Haemorrhagic Septicaemia-Associated Strains of Pasteurella multocida Identifies More than 90 Haemorrhagic Septicaemia-Specific Genes

Pasteurella multocida is the primary causative agent of a range of economically important diseases in animals, including haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS), a rapidly fatal disease of ungulates. There is limited information available on the diversity of P. multocida strains that cause HS. Therefore, we determined draft genome sequences of ten disease-causing isolates and two vaccine strains and comp...

Pathogenicity and immunogenicity of native and mutant strains of Pasteurella multocida, the causative agents of haemorrhagic septicaemia

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is a fatal systemic disease of cattle and buffaloes. Some control isachieved with administration of alum-precipitated or oil-adjuvanted killed whole-cell vaccines injectedsubcutaneously. These vaccines, however, provide only short-term immunity and for effective use, theyshould be administered annually. We constructed an aroA attenuated derivative of a Pasteurella ...
