Description
Summary:Pasteurella multocida capsular types A, D, and F cause disease in many animal hosts, including bovine respiratory disease in cattle, which is one of the most globally significant animal diseases. Additionally, P. multocida capsular types B and E cause haemorrhagic septicaemia, a devastating disease primarily of cattle, water buffalo, and bison that develops rapidly with high mortality. Haemorrhagic septicaemia mostly occurs in developing countries and has potential to emerge elsewhere in the world. The diagnosis of haemorrhagic septicaemia currently requires recognition of compatible gross or histologic lesions and serotyping or molecular characterization of strains. In this study, we performed genomic characterization of 84 P. multocida strains, which were then used to develop and validate a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) biomarker-based method for differentiating non-haemorrhagic septicaemia strains of P. multocida from haemorrhagic septicaemia-causing strains. Haemorrhagic septicaemia strain types B:2,5, E:2,5, and B:3,4 were used to maximize diversity. Three automated classification models were generated and then used to develop an assisted model, which utilized two peaks (6419 and 7729 m/z) to accurately differentiate non-haemorrhagic septicaemia-causing strains from haemorrhagic septicaemia-causing strains of P. multocida. The assisted model performed with 98.2 % accuracy for non-haemorrhagic septicaemia strains, 100 % accuracy for classic B:2,5 and E:2,5 strains, and 84.4 % accuracy for combined haemorrhagic septicaemia-causing strains (B:2,5, E:2,5, and B:3,4) with an overall accuracy of 96.9 %. Our results suggest that MALDI-TOF MS may be used to routinely screen P. multocida isolated from diagnostic cases for initial identification of haemorrhagic septicaemia-causing strains, and to determine whether additional characterizations are warranted. •Pasteurella multocida can be typed into two disease-causing groups by MALDI-TOF MS.•MALDI-TOF MS typing may aid haemorrhagic septicaemia (hemorrhagic septicemia) outbreak surveillance efforts.•This method could be adapted into the workflow of laboratories using MALDI-TOF MS.
