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 determine of the capsular type of the p. multocida strains isolated from sheep pneumonia in iran. bacteriological and bio...

an inactivated trivalent fowl cholera vaccine consisted of serotypes 1, 3 and 4 pasteurella multocida strains was prepared. the vaccine provided 70-100% protection against challenge with homologous starins. elisa assay showed a considerable increase in antibody titer after towice vaccination of 8 weeks chickens. it was found that the trivalent vaccine can induce immunogenic response in vaccinat...

When either the F' lac or the F'Cm plasmid was transferred from Escherichia coli into Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, the P. pseudotuberculosis (F') strains isolated formed plaques with both ribonucleic acid (RNA)-containing and deoxyribonucleic acid-containing male-specific phages. In contrast, strains of P. pestis harboring E. coli (F') plasmids did not form plaques with male-specific phages,...

The Schu-5 strain of Pasteurella tularensis was cross-linked with tetra-azotized benzidine and employed for the isolation of purified specific antibodies. The isolation procedure increased the content of specifically precipitable antibodies at least 40-fold.

A 38 year old man developed meningitis following a dog bite. Pasteurella pneumotropica, usually an animal pathogen, was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient made a complete recovery after antibiotic therapy. The relevant literature is reviewed.

Here we report the draft genome sequences of two virulent avian strains of Pasteurella multocida. Comparative analyses of these genomes were done with the published genome sequence of avirulent P. multocida strain Pm70.

A pseudolysogenic strain of Pasteurella pestis was isolated from a human in Vietnam. The culture contained a stable mixture of bacteriophage and phage-sensitive and phage-resistant P. pestis.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of Pasteurella pneumotropica antibodies in the sera of rats, mice, hamsters and Mastomys. P. pneumotropica from mice and rats showed cross-reactivity. The ELISA using P. pneumotropica NCTC 8284 detected more infected animals than selective culture in groups of rodents from which P. pneumotropica, Haemophilus sp and/or ...

Urinary tract infections are frequently caused by Proteus mirabilis strains. In the previous studies there were defined the complete structures of O-polysaccharide parts of lipopolysaccharides from strains: P. mirabilis O3 (S1959), P. mirabilis O9 and P. mirabilis O18. In the present study it was investigated bactericidal effect of normal human serum (NHS) to P. mirabilis strains. We also focus...

Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen found in the oral cavities of both domestic and wild animals. Although P. multocida has been involved in a wide range of human diseases, only a limited number of studies on P. multocida peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) had been carried out. We herein present the case of P. multocida peritonitis in a patient undergoing conti...
