Pasteurella multocida, a zoonotic agent transmitted by canines and felines, has been very rarely reported to cause bacterial peritonitis in humans. Pasteurella multocida peritonitis is associated with high mortality even with appropriate treatment, therefore its early recognition is essential. We report a case of Pasteurella multocida peritonitis following cat scratch in a patient with Child Pu...

The Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida B:2 serotype causes hemorrhagic septicemia in bubalines with high morbidity and mortality in the Indian subcontinent. We report the draft genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida strain VTCCBAA264 isolated from the small-intestine of a buffalo calf that died of high fever.

Pasteurellosis is one of the important economic diseases in ruminants, especially in cows and buffaloes. It is caused by Pasteurella multocida and occasionally by Mannheimia haemolytica. The aim of this study was to isolate Pasteurella multocida from lungs with probable mentioned bacterial agents in cows and buffaloes in Urmia's slaughter house. 240 lung samples over a period of 12 months were ...

A selective enrichment procedure, using two new selective media, was developed to isolate Pasteurella multocida from wild birds and environmental samples. These media were developed by testing 15 selective agents with six isolates of P. multocida from wild avian origin and seven other bacteria representing genera frequently found in environmental and avian samples. The resulting media--Pasteure...

bacterial infection of the brain is relatively rare in dogs and cats. a cat at approximately three months of age was admitted to the clinic with a history of dog bite seven days before admission. on clinical presentation, the cat was unconscious and in lateral recumbency. one hour after admission, the cat developed severe apnoea and asystole. cardiorespiratory resuscitation was unsuccessful and...

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...

The protein analysis of Pasteurella multocida organism was performed by sodium dodycyle sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) technique using a high pH discontinous buffer system. Six isolates of the Pasteurella multocida organism were confirmed by Gram’s staining and different biochemical tests. In the protein fractions of purified Pasteurella multocida strains, seven polypept...

An effective vaccine for the immunization of sheep against Pasteurella multocida infection was prepared from P. multocida Strain D4 (Type D) and a selected strain of P. multocida Type A. Provided an adequate concentration of bacteria was used, the vaccine thus formulated induced antibodies in sheep that protected mice not only against the vaccine strains but also against infection by a number o...

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.
