This report describes the genome sequences of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A2 isolated from pneumonic lungs of two different ruminant species, one from Ovis aries, designated ovine (O), and the other from Bos taurus, designated bovine (B).

The influence of the leukotoxin of Pasteurella haemolytica on the generation of arachidonic acid metabolites by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was investigated. PMNs released 5-, 12-, and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5-, 12-, and 15-HETE) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) upon stimulation with arachidonic acid. The leukotoxin preparations dose dependently enhanced the release of the 5-...

In this study, we performed a bacteriological investigation on bovine respiratory infections. Additionally, the study evaluates the efficacy of florfenicol 30 µg produced by Rooyan Darou Company (test group) as compared to a similar drug produced by Aboraihan Company (control group). Sampling was carried out on 30 calves at two farms with 30-55% incidence rate of respiratory disorders. Nasophar...

Abstract Cattle are stoic by nature and have long been subject to evolutionary pressure mask pain avoid becoming prey. Quantifying via biomarkers allows researchers capture changes that not easily detected the human eye. Negative public perception of routine husbandry practices such as dehorning castration is growing, increasing need for development relieve suffering in cattle. The objective wa...

The bacterium Pasteurella haemolytica is resident in the oral cavities of dogs and cats and is often a cause of zoonotic infection. However, it is rare for it to be the pathogenic bacteria behind pyogenic spondylitis, and few studies have been conducted on it. This article reports a case of pyogenic cervical spondylitis thought to be caused by excessive contact with pet dogs.A 52-year-old man r...

A systematic analysis of the bacteriostatic/bactericidal effect of several antibiotics used in veterinary medicine was carried out by time-kill kinetic analysis using P. haemolytica, P. multocida, A. pleuropneumoniae, and E. coli. The antibiotics tested were enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, erythromycin, tilmicosin, penicillin G, ceftiofur and tetracycline. Unexpectedly, the antibiotics well charact...

The diagnostic activity on wild animals implies a hard laboratory protocol where multiple disciplines, from biology to pathological anatomy until the biotechnological techniques, must be integrated to establish the causes of death. To demonstrate these concepts, the analytical approach adopted for an alpine ibex (Capra ibex) found dead in a mountain area of North Western Italy was described. Th...

The growth of Pasteurella haemolytica strain H44L was studied under aerobic conditions in a medium of acid-hydrolyzed casein, supplementary cysteine, inorganic salts, vitamins, and a carbon source. The concentration of casein hydrolysate necessary for optimal growth was 1.5 or 2.0%, depending upon the carbon source employed. Essential vitamins were calcium pantothenate, nicotinamide, and thiami...

The aim of this study was to describe parasitological, microbiological, and pathological findings associated with the isolation of Aspergillus species in 94 clinically diseased captive falcons from Dubai. Concomitant agents and/or diseases were identified in 64 cases, causing either single (n = 36) or multiple coinfections (n = 28). Diagnoses found more often in association with aspergillosis w...
