Isolation, Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Pasteurella multocida Isolated from Cattle and Buffalo from Ahwaz, Iran
Authors
Abstract:
Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen and the common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract of domesticated and wild animal species. It is a causative agent of numerous economically important diseases worldwide, such as enzootic bronchopneumonia in ruminants and haemorrhagic septicemia in cattle and buffalo. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of P. multocida carriers, PCR-serogrouping and antibiotic susceptibility status of isolates detected in cattle and buffalo in Ahvaz, Iran. Nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs were collected from 227 cattle and 174 buffaloes. The swabs were streaked on MacConkey and sheep blood agar and incubated for 24-48 h at 37 °C. The presumptive P. multocida colonies were identified based on standard biochemical testing and further confirmed by PCR. A multiplex PCR was used to determine the five pathogen serogroups (i.e., A, B, D, E, and F). Antimicrobial susceptibility of P. multocida isolates was determined using the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood. Out of 401 tested samples, P. multocida was recovered from 10/227 (4.4%) and 12/174 (6.89%) cattle and buffaloes, respectively. Fifteen isolates (68.19%) belonged to serogroup A, 5 (22.72%) to serogroup D, and 2 (9.09%) isolates were untypeable. No isolate belonged to B, E, and F serogroups. All P. multocida isolates were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, florfenicol, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracycline, and ceftriaxone. The most common finding was resistance to tylosin (90.9%), followed by resistance to oxacillin (54.54%).

Characterization, ribotyping and capsular PCR typing of Pasteurella multocida isolated from Iranian sheep and goats
Pasteurella multocida is considered to be an important cause of ovine pneumonia and results causes considerable economic losses in Iran. Ribotyping PCR (Ribo-PCR) was used for investigating the diversity of ovine and caprine P.multocida. A total of 120 swab tonsil and nasal samples were obtained from sheep and goats. They were analyzed by biochemical tests and Ribo-PCR 16S-23S ribosomal RNA gen...

During one year period from 2010 to 2011 the samples from pneumonic animals were taken and transported to the laboratory. Pasteurella multocida were identified in 16.6% of animal by biochemical test. The high incidence of P. multocida was obtained in the south of Fars province, where the area was warm region. The Mean Death Time between the isolates was 12-18 and 19-24 hours. Only the capsular ...
