===Overview ''Pasteurella'' and ''Mannheimia''===
     −
*Common commensals 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
  −
*Not part of the human bacterial flora
  −
*Small Gram-negative bacilli or coccobacilli
  −
*Facultative anaerobes
  −
*Oxidase-positive
  −
*May show bipolar staining with polychrome stains such as Wright's stain
  −
*Capsules contain acidic polysaccharides
     −

[[Category:Rods]]
*Catarrhal odour
  −
*Produce endotoxins which cause host damage and death
  −
*Their capsules resist phagocytosis
  −
 
  −
 
  −
===''Pasteurella multocida''===
  −
 
  −
*Large grey colonies on blood agar
  −
*Not haemolytic
  −
*Do not grow on MacConkey
  −
*Five capsular serotypes, A,B,D,E and F
  −
*Primary and secondary pathogen
  −
*Responsible for secondary infections following primary viral and mycoplasmal infections, especially in the lungs, for example during [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|Enzootic pneumonia of calves]] and pigs
  −
* Can cause vascular fragility, leading to [[Haemostasis - Pathology#Haemorrhagic Disease Due To Vascular Fragility|haemorrhagic disease]]
  −
*Involved in [[Bacterial skin infections - Pathology#Subcutaneous abscesses|subcutaneous abscesses]] due to cat bites
  −
 
  −
 
  −
*Typa A
  −
**Commensal in upper respiratory tract of animals in UK
  −
**Primary pathogen in avian cholera - a septicaemia in chickens and turkeys
  −
**Secondary pathogen commomly repsonsible for dog and cat bite wound infections in humans and animals
  −
**Feline pyothorax and [[Muscles Inflammatory - Pathology#Abscesses|cellulitis]]
  −
**Some strains involved in [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Bacterial rhinitis|Atrophic rhinitis of pigs]], and produce osteolytic toxin
  −
**Involved in [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Rabbits|'Snuffles' in rabbits]], a mucopurulent rhinosinitis
  −
**Can cause pneumonia and mastitis in sheep
  −
**Associated with [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Pneumonic pasteurellosis|pneumonic pasteurellosis]] in cattle, as well as enzootic pneumonia in calves
  −
 
  −
*Type B
  −
**Causes Haemorrhagic Septicaemia of cattle in Southern Europe and Asia
  −
 
  −
*Type D
  −
**Primary and secondary pathogen
  −
**Causes [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Pigs|atrophic rhinitis]] along with ''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]'' in pigs
  −
**Pneumonia in pigs
  −
**''Pasteurella multocida'' adhere to epithelium damaged by ''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]''
  −
**Produces an osteolytic toxin (Pmt), which stimulates osteoclasts, inducing bone resorption of the nasal turbinates
  −
 
  −
*Type E
  −
**Causes African Bovine Haemorrhagic Septicaemia
  −
 
  −
===''Pasteurella pneumotropica''===

  −
 
  −
*T biotypes - trehalose fermenters
  −
*Pneumonia in ruminants
  −
*Septicaemic pasteurellosis in feeder lambs
  −
*Mastitis in sheep
  −
 
  −
===''Pasteurella canis''===
  −
 
  −
*Pneumonia in dogs
  −
*Occasionally infects wounds
  −
 
  −
===''Pasteurella caballi''===
  −
 
  −
*Equine respiratory tract disease, usually in association with ''Streptococcus equi'' subspecies [[Streptococci#S. zooepidemicus|''S. zooepidemicus'']]
  −
*Equine peritonitis
  −
 
  −
===''Pasteurella aerogenes''===
  −
 
  −
*Associated with gastroenteritis and abortion in swine
  −
 
  −
 
  −
 
  −
*''Pasteurella'' may be found in [[Bacterial skin infections - Pathology#Deep pyoderma|deep pyoderma]]

===''Mannheimia''===
  −
 
  −

===''Mannheimia haemolytica''===
  −
 
  −
*Cause of epizootic pneumonia in cattle known as Shipping Fever, Transit Fever or [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Pneumonic pasteurellosis|pneumonic pasteurellosis]] (90% caused by ''Mannheimia haemolytica'' Biotype A, serotype 1 but also ''Pasteurella multocida''
  −
*Usually secondary to viral infections such as [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Parainfluenza- 3|parainfluenza - 3]] or [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#In Cattle|IBR]], bacterial infections such as ''Mycoplasma'' or environmental stress
  −
*May contribute to [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of calves|Enzootic pneumonia of calves]]
  −
*Enzootic pneumonia in sheep
  −
* [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Peritonitis|Peritonitis in sheep]]

  −
*Causes gangrenous mastitis in sheep
  −
*Beta-haemolytic on blood agar
  −
*Grow weakly on MacConkey agar
  −
*Odourless
  −
*All are ''Mannheimia'' A biotypes (previously ''Pasterurella haemolytica'')
  −
*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
