BACK TO BACTERIA

Overview Pasteurella

  • Common commensal of the upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract mucosa of animals
  • Usually opportunistic organisms, causing disease during times of stress, low resistance or concurrent infection
  • Resist phagocytosis by their capsule
  • Not part of the human bacterial flora

Pasteurella Properties

  • Short Gram-negative bacilli or coccobacilli
  • Oxidase-positive
  • May show bipolar staining
  • Catarrhal odour
  • Produce endotoxins which cause host damage and death

Pasteurella multocida

  • Large grey colonies on blood agar
  • Not haemolytic
  • Do not grow on MacConkey
  • Four capsular serotypes, A,B,D,E and recently F
  • Primary and secondary pathogen
  • Responsible for secondary infections following primary viral and mycoplasmal infections, especially in the lungs, for example during pig enzootic pneumonia
  • Typa A
    • Commensal in upper respiratory tract of animals in UK
    • Primary pathogen in fowl cholera - a septicaemia in chickens and turkeys
    • Secondary pathogen commomly repsonsible for dog and cat bite wound infections in humans and animals
    • Some strains involved in Atrophic rhinitis of pigs, and produce osteolytic toxin
    • Involved in rabbit Snuffles (Pateurellosis)
  • Type B
    • Causes Haemorrhagic Septicaemia of cattle in Southern Europe and Asia
  • Type D
    • Primary and secondary pathogen
    • Causes Atropic Rhinitis along with Bordetella bronchiseptica in pigs
    • Produces an osteolytic toxin, which stimulates osteoclasts, inducing bone resorption
  • Type E
    • Causes African Bovine Haemorrhagic Septicaemia

Pasteurella pneumotropica

  • Carried in nasopharynx of many small rodents
  • Causes pneumonia in rodents as a secondary disease


Mannheimia

Mannheimia haemolytica

  • Cause of epizootic pneumonia in cattle known as Shipping Fever, Transit Fever or Bovine Pneumonic Pasteurellosis
  • Usually secondary to viral infections such as PI3 or IBR, or to mycoplasma
  • Causes pasteurellosis in sheep
  • Beta-haemolytic on blood agar
  • Grow weakly on MacConkey agar
  • All are Manheimia A biotypes
  • Strains often produce a cytotoxin, known as leukotoxin, which kills leukocytes of ruminants
  • Leukotoxin is a member of the RTX group toxins, and is probably largely responsible for the pathogenicity of the bacteria in septicaemia and pneumonia

Mannheimia glucosida

  • Previously biotype A11

Mannheimia trehalosi

  • T biotypes - trehalose fermenters
