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.

This paper describes a phenotypic and genotypic investigation of the taxonomy of [Haemophilus] paragallinarum, Pasteurella gallinarum, Pasteurella avium and Pasteurella volantium, a major subcluster within the avian 16S rRNA cluster 18 of the family Pasteurellaceae. An extended phenotypic characterization was performed of the type strain of [Haemophilus] paragallinarum, which is NAD-dependent, ...

The identification of Pasteurella and related bacteria remains a challenge. Here, a 449- to 473-bp fragment (sodA(int)) internal to the sodA gene, encoding the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase, was amplified and sequenced with a single pair of degenerate primers from the type strains of Pasteurella (18 strains), Gallibacterium (1 strain), and Mannheimia (5 strains) species. The sodA(int...

Introduction. Infections caused by Pasteurella species are commonly associated with contact with dogs and cats, typically involving bites and scratches, but casual contact with household pets can also be a risk factor. Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Pasteurella species is rare and a significant majority of cases have some known risk factor associated with an underlying chronic illness ...

Accepted for publication 13 July 1993 Case report An 80-year-old man presented with a 1 week history of redness and discharge 11 weeks after an uncomplicated left extracapsular lens extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation. On examination there was evidence of posterior blepharitis, with conjunctival injection and a few follicles present. The cornea was clear, with a few cells present...

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.

We report a tubo-ovarian abscess due to Pasteurella multocida. This zoonotic infection was likely of ascending origin, as Pasteurella was also isolated from vaginal swabs.

The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 421 Pasteurella haemolytica and 158 P. multocida isolates recovered from cattle with respiratory disease were determined with a microdilution minimal inhibitory concentration test system. Isolates were analyzed for patterns of resistance to ampicillin, ceftiofur, erythromycin, gentamicin, penicillin, spectinomycin, sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, te...

Pasteurella species cause zoonotic infections in humans. Human pasteurella infections usually manifest as local skin or soft tissue infection following an animal bite or scratch. Systemic infections are less common and are limited to patients at the extremes of age or those who have serious underlying disorders, including cirrhosis. Most human pasteurella infections are caused by the multocida ...
