... Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica is the only pathogen that consistently causes severe bronchopneumonia and rapid death of bighorn sheep (BHS; Ovis canadensis) under experimental conditions. Paradoxically, Bibersteinia (Pasteurella) trehalosi and Pasteurella multocida have been isolated from BHS pneumonic lungs much more frequently than M. haemolytica. These observations suggest that there may ...
... Over a period of 17 years, 84 bacterial isolates identified as Mannheimia haemolytica or M. glucosida, and 52 isolates identified as Pasteurella trehalosi were detected in the lungs of domestic and wild ruminants in the French Alps. The isolates were serotyped according to their surface capsular antigens, and those sharing common antigens were further characterized by pulsed field gel electrophore ...
... The prevalence and serotypic diversity of Mannheimia [Pasteurella] haemolytica and Pasteurella trehalosi from nasal swabs, sera and abattoir specimens from sheep in the highlands of Wollo, North East Ethiopia was investigated. Prevalence rates of 83% and 75% of these microorganisms were found in the serum samples and nasal swabs, respectively, from apparently healthy sheep. In a local abattoir, 20 ...
... Fibrinogen-binding proteins were found in the culture supernatants of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 (ATCC 43270) and Pasteurella trehalosi serotype 10 (ECO-100). Sheep fibrinogen was biotinylated and shown to bind to proteins in the culture supernatants by modified western blot. Fibrinogen-binding proteins in the culture supernatant may be important virulence factors leading to the characteris ...
... A strain of Pasteurella trehalosi serotype 10, ECO-100, isolated from a bighorn sheep that had succumbed to pneumonic pasteurellosis during an epizootic, was compared to well-characterized strains of P. trehalosi serotype 10 and Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1. The gene for leukotoxin A (lktA) from ECO-100 was sequenced and found to be identical on an amino acid basis to a published sequence for ...
... Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides from sheep (SMAP29 and SMAP34), rabbits (CAP11 and CAP18), rodents (CRAMP), and humans (FALL39, LL37, and h/CAP18). In a broth microdilution assay against nine ovine pathogens, SMAP29, SMAP34, mouse CRAMP, CAP18, CAP1831, CAP1828, CAP1822, and CAP1821a were the most active, with MICs as low as 0.6 μg/ml. Other cathelicidins were less active. In lambs with p ...
... A total of 608 bacterial isolates previously identified as Pasteurella haemolytica biotypes A and 3, P. trehalosi, and P. multocida, were separated into 73 distinct biovariants using 21 phenotypic characteristics. The largest group (54%) of wildlife isolates was identified as biogroup 2 and biogroup 2 variants. Biogroup 2 and biogroup 2 variants accounted for only 17% of isolates from domestic rum ...
