infected with P. testudinis, the difference (8/20 versus 2/23) is significant (P < 0.05 by Fisher's test). Pasteurella testudinis may play a more specific role in abscesses of turtles than in the other conditions in which it was encountered, as suggested by its occurrence in pure culture and appreciable numbers (3+ or 4+) that was limited to 6 such cases, apart from 1 instance of apparent bacte...

Avian Pasteurella multocida is an agent of fowl cholera. The protective effect achieved through orthodoxvaccines is not ideal. The research on novel vaccines against avian Pasteurella multocida is imperative. Inthis study, the genes encoding outer membrane protein H and A (OmpH and OmpA) were cloned into theeukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) and the recombinant plasmids, namely DNA vaccin...

A Pasteurella multocida species-specific oligonucleotide probe, pmhyb449, targeting 16S rRNA was designed and evaluated by whole-cell hybridization against 22 selected reference strains in animal tissues. It differentiated P. multocida from other bacterial species of the families Pasteurellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae and also from divergent species of the order Cytophagales (except biovar 2 st...

The authors present a case report caused by Francisella novicida, rare opportunistic human pathogen that may cause tularemia-like disease in patients who are immunocompromised. diagnosis is challenge since it can be confused with Pasteurella or Brucella, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight systems limited due to its poor performance identification.

in order to assess the immunopathological effects of aqueous echinacea purpurea extract (epe) on mice experimentally challenged with pasteurella multocida serotype a, forty female balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups. the groups included a control group (received sterile distilled water 2 times/week for 2 weeks, intraperitoneally and then 100 μl sterile saline intranasally), a pma...
