Bovine respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma bovis is a major health problem of cattle worldwide. It inflicts considerable financial losses on beef herds and is the most common cause of mortality in dairy cattle. Bacteriological examination of 35 nasal cavity samples from calves younger than three months of age identified Mycoplasma bovis in eight (22.9%) samples. These cattle were followed ...

in order to show the type and severity of gross and histopathologic lesions induce by vaccinal strain (serotype a1) of pateurella mulocida, ten four-week-old spf chickens were inoculated intramuscularly with 75 cfu of ( 0.5 ml of 10-7 dilution) bacterium. all birds died in less than 16 hours. no prominent gross lesions were observed in different organs. in microscopic examination, the most comm...

Pasteurella multocida serotype B:2 is the causative agent of hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle and buffaloes in Asia. It is an acute fatal disease and is considered one of the most economically important diseases in this region of the world. We present here the draft genome sequences of strains 2213 and 3213 of P. multocida.

Pasteurella multocida is a major pathogen of farm animals and has worldwide distribution. Here we report the draft genome sequences of four strains that were isolated from animals in the United Kingdom and the United States and represent pathogenic and commensal presentation of the bacterium.

In this study, 108 P. multocida isolates recovered from various host animals such as cattle, buffalo, swine, poultry (chicken, duck, and emu) and rabbits were screened for carriage of 8 virulence associated genes. The results revealed some unique information on the prevalence of virulence associated genes among Indian isolates. With the exception of toxA gene, all other virulence associated gen...

pasteurella species are commensal bacteria of the respiratory airways and oronasal cavity of animals. in this study, we report an unusual case of pasteurella dagmatis isolation from dog urine with uroliths. an 11-year-old female dog was admitted to the veterinary hospital of ahvaz university complaining of abdominal pain, hematuria, dysuria and stranguria. in clinical and radiological examinati...

BACKGROUND Pasteurella species, widely known as indigenous organisms in the oral and gastrointestinal floras of many wild and domestic animals, are important pathogens in both animals and humans. Human infections due to Pasteurella species are in most cases associated with infected injuries following animal bites. We encountered a rare case of dual infections caused by different two Pasteurella...

UNLABELLED P. multocida is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for causing diseases in animals of economic significance to livestock industries throughout the world. Current vaccines include bacterins, which provide only limited protection against homologous serotypes. Therefore there is a need for more effective vaccines to control diseases caused by P. multocida. As a step towards developing...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Received: 2 May 2014 Accepted: 12 August 2014 Available online: 1 December 2014 Pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. As immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. The aim of this study was to molecular identification and de...

Different strategies have been developed to produce vaccines against Pasteurella multocida. The approach described herein involves overexpression on the bacterial cell surface of Fur-regulated IROMPs (iron-regulated outer-membrane proteins). Accordingly, the ability of fur mutants to promote heterologous protection was examined in a Swiss mouse animal model. Twofur mutants derived from P. multo...
