Abstract:

Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for pneumonia of lambs and goats, respiratory atrophic rhinitis of swine. Although the molecular basis of the pathogenicity and host specificity of P. multocida is not well understood, several studies have reported that a number of proteins are correlated with the pathogenic mechanisms. Adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colonization and invasion of the host. Thus, their presence on the bacterial surfaces is usually correlated with virulence.The aim of this study was identify the adhesion associate genes and antimicrobial suscaptability among ovine P. multocida isolates from Iran.Of the thirty tested strains, 3.4% (1/30) were susceptible to all (12 antibiotics) tested drugs, and 83.4% (25/30) were resistant to at least one drug tested. The resistance was more frequent to streptomycin (83.3%), followed by tylosin and penicillin (46.6%).The results of PCR analysis for the frequency of virulence-associated genes indicted that the genes encoding adhesins (ptfA, fimA, hsf-1 and ompH), were each found in more than 93.0% of the isolates. In contrast, the frequency of 2 genes (pfhA and tadD) were 36%. All the tested isolates were positive for fimA and ompH (100%). Five different virulence profiles (P1 - P5) were obtained among the 30 isolates of ovine origin, and profile P2, harboring all adhesion genes except pfhA and ptfA, had the highest frequency. The results of this investigation provide useful information for understanding the antimicrobial resistance patterns, capsular types and adhesin genes prevalence of P.multocida isolate from sheep in Iran.

Prevalence of adhesion Virulence factor genes, antibiogram, and pathogenicity of avian Pasteurella multocida isolate from Iran

Pasteurella multocida possesses various virulence factors, including capsule, lipopolysaccharide, fimbriae, toxins, outer membrane proteins, and adhesions. Adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colonization and invasion of the host. The aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence of adhesion factor genes and resistance/sensitivity patterns among the avian P. multocida isolates f...

Virulence Genes and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Pasteurella multocida Strains Isolated from Rabbits in Brazil

Pasteurella multocida is responsible for a wide range of diseases in domestic animals. In rabbits, the agent is related to nasal discharge, pneumonia, otitis media, pyometra, orchitis, abscess, and septicemia. One hundred and forty rabbits with respiratory diseases from four rabbitries in São Paulo State, Brazil were evaluated for the detection of P. multocida in their nasal cavities. A total o...

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Pasteurella multocida Isolates

The sensitivity to antimicrobial agents of 27 Pasteurella multocida isolates was assayed in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration, employing a serial broth dilution technique. Prepared microtitre plates used in the study contained 17 drugs in four or eight dilutions, with four controls. Isolates of P. multocida were considered in four groups, depending on their origin (from field outbreaks;...

Isolation, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence genes of Pasteurella multocida strains from swine in China.

A total of 233 isolates of Pasteurella multocida were obtained from 2,912 cases of clinical respiratory disease in pigs in China, giving an isolation rate of 8.0%. Serogroup A P. multocida isolates were isolated from 92 cases (39.5%), and serogroup D isolates were isolated from 128 cases (54.9%); 12 isolates (5.2%) were untypeable. P. multocida was the fourth most frequent pathogenic bacterium ...

Virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance of Pasteurella multocida isolated from poultry and swine

Pasteurella multocida causes atrophic rhinitis in swine and fowl cholera in birds, and is a secondary agent in respiratory syndromes. Pathogenesis and virulence factors involved are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to detect 22 virulence-associated genes by PCR, including capsular serogroups A, B and D genes and to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of P. multocida stra...
