==In general==

  −
*Main clinical expression is as secondary invaders of previously damaged lung tissue due to viral or parasitic involvement or environmental stress
  −
*Some are initial pathogens in their own right while others can damage the tract allowing invasion by more pathogenic types

  −
 
  −
*Atrophy of nasal turbinates and distortion and shortening of the snout 
  −
*Caused by co-infection of the nasal mucosa with
  −
**''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]''
  −
***Appears to facilitate colonisation of nasal epithelium by the toxigenic ''Pasteurella''
  −
**Toxin-producing strain of [[Pasteurella multocida|''Pasteurella multocida'']] capsular type D (or sometimes A)
  −
***Experimental evidence shows that the toxin acts directly on bone cells of the nasal turbinates to cause bone loss, each pathogen can cause atrophy itself but greater damage when together
  −
*Exacerbated by adverse dietary and managemental factors
  −
*In rapidly growing young pigs (4-12 weeks old)
  −
*Clinical signs
  −
**Progressive facial deformity with [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|rhinitis]], catarrhal nasal discharge
  −
**Sneezing, coughing, can progress to dyspnoea and anorexia
  −
 
  −
*Gross pathology
  −
**Overlying skin on shortened snout is thrown into folds
  −
**Deviation of the snout to most affected side
  −
**Various loss of turbinate bone, ventral usually more affected
  −
**Deviation of nasal septum away from affected chamber
  −
**Inflammatory, haemorrhagic and ulcerative lesions in the nasal mucosa
  −
*Micro pathology
  −
**Reduction in the amount of bone in the turbinates
  −
**No osteoid laid down between osteoblasts and existing bone
  −
**Increased fibrous tissue
  −
**Non-specific mucosal inflammation
  −
 
  −
*2 forms of the disease
  −
**''''Progressive' atrophic rhinitis'''
  −
***Due to infection of the nasal turbinates by P.multocida strains carrying the toxA gene that encodes for an osteolytic toxin. [[Pasteurella multocida|''P.multocida'']] adheres poorly to mucous membranes, and therefore requires a predisposing nasal insult to assist colonisation eg: co-infection with [[Bordetella bronchiseptica|''B.bronchiseptica'']] or [[Cytomegalovirus|Porcine cytomegalovirus (inclusion body rhinitis)]]
  −
***Turbinate bone atrophy is permanent and progressive
  −
**''''Non-progressive' atrophic rhinitis'''
  −
***Due to infection of the nasal turbinates by ''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]'' strains alone, that carry a gene that encodes for a dermonecrotic toxin.
  −
***Turbinate bone can regenerate by the time of slaughter
  −
 
  −

  −
 
  −
*Caused by ''[[Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae]]'' and ''[[Mycoplasma hyorhinis]]''
  −
*Also called '''mycoplasmal pneumonia'''
  −
*Major cause of unthriftiness in young pigs
  −
*[[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pneumonia|Pneumonia]] in weaned pigs
  −
*Cough, reduced growth rate
  −
*Attached to cilia - no [[Respiratory System General Introduction - Pathology#Mucociliary escalator|mucociliary clearance]]
  −
*Usually non-fatal unless there is secondary infection (e.g. [[Pasteurella multocida|''Pasteurella multocida'']])
  −
*Gross pathology:
  −
**Confluent consolidation of the cranioventral lung lobes
  −
**In other areas there may be small red to grey focal lesions evident which indicate the bronchiolar orientation of the inflammatory process
  −
*Histologically
  −
**Changes result from a catarrhal [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchointerstitial pneumonia|bronchointerstitial pneumonia]]
  −
**In chronic cases, prominent accumulations of lymphoid cells can be seen around airways and blood vessels
  −
 
  −

===Pasteurellosis in pigs===
  −
 
  −
*[[Pasteurella multocida|''Pasteurella multocida'']] can cause a severe acute fibrinous [[Bronchi and Bronchioles Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of bronchitis or bronchiolitis|broncho]][[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pneumonia|pneumonia]] in pigs
  −
*The most significant disease here is that caused by ''P. multocida'' secondary to underlying [[:Category:Mycoplasmas|''mycoplasma'' pneumonia]], see above [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of pigs|enzootic pneumonia of pigs]]
  −
**This results in chronic suppurative [[Bronchi and Bronchioles Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of bronchitis or bronchiolitis|bronchopneumonia]]  with abscessation and [[Pleural Cavity & Membranes Inflammatory - Pathology|pleuritis]]
  −
*If there is considerable pleural involvement, it may be indistinguishable from lesions caused by ''[[Haemophilus pleuropneumonia]]'' (below)
