===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 infections
 
*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
 
*Causes Haemorrhagic Septicaemia in cattle
 
*Contributes to Atropic Rhinitis in pigs
 
*Causes septicaemia in chickens and turkeys known as folw cholera
 
*Involved in Snuffles (Pasteurellosis) in rabbits
 
*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
 
**Commomly repsonsible for dog and cat bite wound infections in humans and animals
 
**Some strains involved in Atropic Rhinitis, and produce osteolytic toxin
 
 
 
*Type B
 
**Causes Haemorrhagic Septicaemia of cattle in Southern Europe and Asia
 
 
 
*Type D
 
**Causes Atropic Rhinitis along with ''Bordetella bronchiseptica'' in pigs
 
**Produces an osteolytic toxin, which stimulates osteoclast, inducing bone resorption
 
 
 
*Type E
 
**Causes Afican Bovine Haemorrhagic Septicaemia
 
 
 
===''Pasteurella pneumotropica''===
 
 
 
*Carried in nasopharynx of many small rodents
 
*Causes pneumonia in rodents as a secondary disease
