- Pasteurella multocida can cause a severe acute fibrinous bronchopneumonia in pigs
- The most significant disease here is that caused by P. multocida secondary to underlying mycoplasma pneumonia, see above enzootic pneumonia of pigs
- This results in chronic suppurative bronchopneumonia with abscessation and pleuritis
- If there is considerable pleural involvement, it may be indistinguishable from lesions caused by Haemophilus pleuropneumonia (below)
- Also isolated from cases of meningitis and septicaemia in piglets
