Capsular Groups of Pasteurella multocida Isolated from Avian Hosts

Avian strains of Pasteurella multocida representing a variety of host types, geographic locations, and somatic serotypes were examined to provide information on the distribution of capsular serogroups. Of the 246 strains studied, 166 were capsular group A, 4 were group B, 4 were group D, and 14 were...

Description
Summary:Avian strains of Pasteurella multocida representing a variety of host types, geographic locations, and somatic serotypes were examined to provide information on the distribution of capsular serogroups. Of the 246 strains studied, 166 were capsular group A, 4 were group B, 4 were group D, and 14 were group F; 58 strains were non-encapsulated and consequently not serogroupable. This is the first report of serogroup B P. multocida from avian hosts in the United States. The 188 serogroupable strains represented 12 variations in somatic serotypes and were isolated from 11 types of avian hosts representing 25 states of the United States, Bangladesh, Singapore, and Canada. /// Con el objeto de obtener información acerca de la distribución de los serogrupos capsulares, se examinaron cepas de Pasteurella multocida aisladas de varias especies aviares en diferentes áreas geográficas representando varios serotipos somáticos. De las 246 cepas estudiadas, 166 fueron del grupo capsular A, 4 del grupo B, 4 del grupo D, 14 del grupo F y 58 cepas no tenían cápsula y por lo tanto no se clasificaron. Las 188 cepas clasificadas representaron 12 variaciones en serotipo somático y fueron aisladas de 11 especies aviares representando 25 estados de Estados Unidos, Bangladesh, Singapur y Canadá.
