Avian pasteurellosis caused by Pasteurella multocida was reported among 180 species of wild birds but not reported so far in emu birds. Several emu birds were reported to have died over a period of one week in an organized emu farm. Necropsy findings revealed typical haemorrhagic lesions and characteristic bipolar organism, suggestive of avian pasteurellousis. Two Pasteurella multocida isolates...

Pasteurella multocida is associated with hemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffaloes, pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep and goats, fowl cholera in poultry, atrophic rhinitis in pigs and snuffles in rabbits. Haemorrhagic septicaemia is caused by Pasteurella multocida type B:2, B:2,5 and B:5 in Asian countries and type E:2 in African countries. Pasteurella multocida have five types of capsula...

Pasteurella multocida toxin is a major virulence factor of Pasteurella multocida, which causes pasteurellosis in men and animals and atrophic rhinitis in rabbits and pigs. The approximately 145 kDa protein toxin stimulates various signal transduction pathways by activating heterotrimeric G proteins of the Galpha(q), Galpha(i), and Galpha(12/13) families by using an as yet unknown mechanism. Her...

Pasteurella multocida is an important etiological agent that can cause many economically important diseases in a wide range of mammals and birds. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of P. multocida HN06, a toxigenic serogroup D strain isolated from a diseased pig in China.

this study has been carried out with the objective of isolation and identification of agent(s) of pasteurella pneumonia in sheep and goat in iran using bacteriological and biochemical assays to be identified in the pursuant researches to be used in pasteurellosis vaccine production. to accomplish this objective, samples were gathered from areas suspicious to pasteurellosis infection and industr...

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...

More than 5 million Americans are bitten by animals, usually dogs, annually. Bite patients comprise ∼1% of all patients who visit emergency departments (300,000/year), and approximately 10,000 require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics. Ceftaroline is the bioactive component of the prodrug ceftaroline fosamil, which is FDA approved for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin str...

the virulence of pasteurella multocida (p. multocida) serotype a1 for chickens and mice was determined. groups of chicken and mice were exposed intramuscularly and intraperitoneally to various concentration of p. multocida broth culture, respectively. this strain was highly virulent for chickens so that those exposed to only 7 c.f.u. of the organism died in less than 24 hours. groups of mice ex...

We evaluated a patient for mycotic aneurysms caused by Pasteurella multocida. We treated Pasteurella aortitis medically with ciprofloxacin, and the patient has had long-term survival.
