Prevalence of virulence associated genes in Pasteurella multocida isolates from Tamil Nadu

Pasteurella multocida is an important pathogen responsible for wide range of diseases in different hosts. In this study, 14 P.multocida isolates from cattle, goat, rabbit and avian origin were examined for capsular type and 11 virulence associated genes using previously described multiplex PCR. Of t...

Summary:Pasteurella multocida is an important pathogen responsible for wide range of diseases in different hosts. In this study, 14 P.multocida isolates from cattle, goat, rabbit and avian origin were examined for capsular type and 11 virulence associated genes using previously described multiplex PCR. Of the 14 isolates, 11 were capsular type A and 3 were capsular type B. Among the virulence associated genes, oma87, hgbA, nanB and sodC were detected in 100% of the isolates and none of the isolates harboured toxA. All the isolates from goat origin showed positive (100%) for phfA gene. Occurrence of filamentous haemagglutinin encoding phfA gene from isolates of goat origin is first reported in this study.
