Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) is an important pathogen of various domestic animals. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) play a major role in pathogenesis and immunogenicity of P. multocida. The aim of the study was to develop indirect enzyme linked immuno sorbant assay (ELISA) based on OMPs to ascertain the antibody titers in animals post-infection or to gauge the potency of vaccine. The ...

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...

Meningococcal septicaemia has high mortality, especially when the diagnosis is delayed or missed. Early recognition is not always straightforward, as classic clinical features may be absent or overlooked at initial presentation. Septicaemia without focal infection accounts for 15%-20% of cases of meningococcal disease and is the most worrisome manifestation in terms of diagnosis and outcome; in...
