this study was carried out at the razi institute during 2005-2006 with inspecting 12168 lung tissue of slaughtered sheep and goats at the ziaran abattoir. pneumonia were diagnosed in 282 cases and the affected lung tissue was collected and transferred to the bacteriology and pathology departments for isolating of pasteurella spp. and interpretation of histopathologic lesions. pasteurella multoc...

Objective: The study aimed to molecular characterization of Pasteurella multocida local strain using Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC), 13 virulence genes and the outer membrane protein (OmpH) gene. Also, development of diagnostic markers by multiplex PCR from investigated genes. Methodology: The ERIC-PCR was used for the detection of the finger print of Pasteurella multoci...

The ROB-1 beta-lactamase, previously described in Haemophilus influenzae, has been found in the genus Pasteurella. In three bovine strains of Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica, ROB-1 production was determined by plasmids of 4.4 kilobases. In one porcine strain of Pasteurella aerogenes, the enzyme seems to be chromosomally encoded.

Fowl cholera, also called as avian cholera or avian pasteurellosis, is a contagious and economically important disease of poultry particularly chicken, turkeys, ducks and geese (Rimler and Glisson, 1997). It is caused by Pasteurella multocida,a small gram-negative bacteria, which inhabits the upper respiratory tract of the many avian species as commensal (Rimler and Glisson, 1997). It has been ...

pasteurella multocida is known as an important heterogenic bacterial agent causes some severe diseases such as fowl cholera in poultry and haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffalo. a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay was developed using primers derived from conserved part of 16s-23s rrna gene. the pcr amplified a fragment size of 0.7 kb using dna from nine avian p. multocida  isolates...

The Gram-negative bacterium Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of a number of economically important animal diseases, including avian fowl cholera. Numerous P. multocida virulence factors have been identified, including capsule, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and filamentous hemagglutinin, but little is known about how the expression of these virulence factors is regulated. Hfq is an RNA-b...

An otherwise healthy male abbatoir worker presented to his general practitioner with acute hypoxemia due to bronchopneumonia. His only occupational exposure was cleaning cow carcasses being prepared for consumption. Blood cultures were eventually positive for Pasteurella multocida. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Pasteurella multocida pneumonia in an abattoir worker, and il...

Pasteurella multocida is a gram-negative coccobacillus bacterium found as commensal in the oropharynx of domestic animals such cats and dogs some farm animals. Soft tissue infections occasionally bacteremia immunocompromised patients with direct contact are described. We report 61 year old male history scratches close cats, septic shock originating from pulmonary focus, requiring mechanical ven...

BACKGROUND Pasteurella multocida is a gram negative-penicillin sensitive bacterium and is part of normal respiratory microbiota of animals (e.g., cats and dogs) and some birds. Various infections in humans, such as cellulitis, rarely bacteremia, endocarditis, meningitis, and septic arthritis, are a result of domestic cat or dog bites. These infections are rarely seen in an immunocompetent perso...
