the effect of titanium dioxide inhalation on the pulmonary clearance of pasteurella haemolytica in the mouse.four inhalation exposure chambers were designed and built in which up to 80 mice per chamber could be accommodated. exposure for several weeks to an inert inorganic particulate aerosol of titanium dioxide at a respirable aerosol concentration of 20 mg m-3 impaired the clearance of pasteurella haemolytica in proportion to the duration of exposure. other groups exposed to a lower respirable concentration of 2 mg m-3 exhibited similar clearance rates relative to mice maintained in clean air. a reco ...19892792057
pulmonary clearance of pasteurella haemolytica and immune responses in mice following exposure to titanium dioxide.the effects of dust inhalation on immune responses in mice to aerosolized pasteurella haemolytica were investigated. animals exposed to titanium dioxide dust (tio2) at a respirable aerosol concentration of approximately 20 mg m-3 for 20 hr per day, before or after aerosol vaccination, had impaired pulmonary bacterial clearance relative to animals kept in clean air. additionally, lymphocytes from the local (mediastinal) lymph nodes had depressed responses to bacterial antigen in vitro in mice exp ...19892792059
chemotactic response of bovine neutrophils to pasteurella haemolytica culture fluid.bovine neutrophil chemotactic activity was detected in the supernatant fluid of logarithmic phase cultures of p. haemolytica serotype 1. the chemoattractant was produced under culture conditions suitable for p. haemolytica leukotoxin production. an inverse correlation existed between the leukotoxin lc50 and the chemotactic activity in the culture fluid. elimination of leukotoxin activity by heating, dilution or ultrafiltration, exposed the chemotactic activity in the culture fluid. the chemoattr ...19892800327
effect of pasteurella haemolytica infection on the distribution of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim into tissue chambers implanted subcutaneously in cattle.a study was designed to determine the effect of pasteurella haemolytica infection on the rate and extent of penetration of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim into tissue chambers implanted sc in cattle. thermoplastic tissue chambers were implanted sc in 6 calves. at 35 days after implantation, sulfadiazine (25 mg/kg of body weight) and trimethoprim (5 mg/kg) were administered iv to 5 of the calves. chamber fluid and blood samples were collected from each animal at various time intervals for 24 hours ...19892802332
interaction between pasteurella haemolytica, sulfadiazine/trimethoprim, and bovine viral diarrhea virus.a study was designed to develop and define a sc tissue chamber as a suitable device for establishing a soft-tissue infection model in cattle and to use this model to study the interaction between pasteurella haemolytica, sulfadiazine/trimethoprim, and bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv). thermoplastic tissue chambers were implanted in the paralumbar fossae of 20 calves. at 35 days after implantation, calves were allotted to 4 groups of equal size and the calves in 2 groups were inoculated intratr ...19892802333
direct effects of pasteurella haemolytica lipopolysaccharide on bovine pulmonary endothelial cells in vitro.bovine pulmonary artery cells in cell culture were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (lps) purified from pasteurella haemolytica serotype al. this resulted in severe membrane damage, which caused a time- and dose-dependent release of lactate dehydrogenase that was first detected 4 hours after exposure and reached a maximal mean release of 67% after 24 hours of exposure to 1 micrograms of lps/ml. mean release of 51chromium followed by a similar pattern and reached a maximum of 61% following 24 hours ...19892802342

pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 colonization of the nasal passages of virus-infected calves.nasal passages of calves with a virus-induced respiratory tract disease became colonized by pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 after they were inoculated intranasally with p haemolytica. inoculation with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus caused a more severe clinical illness and resulted in a greater degree of colonization with p haemolytica than developed after inoculation with parainfluenza-3 virus. nasal passages of parainfluenza-3 virus-inoculated calves were colonized to a greater deg ...19872829666
effects of smooth and rough pasteurella haemolytica lipopolysaccharides on plasma cyclic-nucleotides and free fatty acids in calves.the present study examined the potency of smooth or rough pasteurella haemolytica lipopolysaccharide infusion (lps, 24 ng kg-1 min-1 for 500 min) on plasma cyclic-nucleotides and several free fatty acids (ffa) in calves. both smooth or rough lps increased plasma camp immediately to its maximum at 1 h of infusion, whereas plasma cgmp levels rose slowly and peaked 12 h later. the increases in camp levels were more prolonged for smooth lps than rough lps. the maximum plasma camp rise coincided with ...19872830707
the possible involvement of immunosuppression caused by a lentivirus in the aetiology of jaagsiekte and pasteurellosis in sheep.a south african isolate of ovine lentivirus was shown to cause a mild immunosuppression in sheep, reflected by a reduced delayed hypersensitivity reaction. this effect, measured in terms of skin swelling after intradermal inoculation with tuberculin, showed a positive linear relationship with the latency period before the appearance of jaagsiekte symptoms in animals co-infected with jsrv, as well as with the activity of monocytes. in a parallel study, increased susceptibility of lentivirus-infec ...19882848209
effects of immunization with bovine herpesvirus-1 glycoproteins on bovine herpesvirus-1-induced alteration of bovine neutrophil chemotactic and anti-pasteurella haemolytica activities.it has been reported previously that active bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) infection greatly enhances the susceptibility of cattle to secondary bacterial pneumonia involving pasteurella haemolytica. the present study examines the possibility that immunization of bhv-1 naive calves with purified bhv-1 glycoproteins would protect them against changes in neutrophil function that might compromise their ability to eliminate p. haemolytica during an active bhv-1 infection. the results show that circulat ...19882848379
preincubation of bovine blood neutrophils with bovine herpesvirus-1 does not impair neutrophil interaction with pasteurella haemolytica a1 in vitro.in this study we examined the direct effects of bovine herpesvirus-1 on the interaction of bovine blood neutrophils with pasteurella haemolytica a1. preincubation of neutrophils for approximately 2 h in vitro with bhv-1 at a multiplicity of infection of 5:1 had no effect on neutrophil random migration and directed migration to zymosan-activated bovine serum. neutrophils also were unimpaired in their ability to ingest and kill p. haemolytica a1. preincubation of neutrophils with bhv-1 did not eli ...19882855289
electron microscopic description of glycocalyx and fimbriae on the surface of pasteurella haemolytica-a1.several electron microscopic techniques were used to examine the surface of cells of pasteurella haemolytica (biotype a, serotype 1) grown in vitro. all methods showed the presence of a very extensive glycocalyx on logarithmic phase (6 h) cells grown in liquid media. the anionic glycocalyx of these cells stained well with ruthenium red, but collapsed during dehydration for electron microscopy unless stabilized with specific antibodies. when the same techniques were used to examine cells in the s ...19872882831
purification of fimbriae from pasteurella haemolytica a-1.pasteurella haemolytica a-1 produces large, rigid fimbriae with a diameter of 12 nm and a denisty of 1.32. their subunit molecular weight was 35,000 as determined by sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies raised against native fimbriae. the isoelectric point of the purified fimbriae was 4.8. while pasteurella haemolytica whole cells plus a crude shear fraction were capable of agglutinating bovine erythrocytes, purified fimbriae exhibited no such acti ...19882904643
secretion of cyclolysin, the calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase-haemolysin bifunctional protein of bordetella pertussis.the calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase of bordetella pertussis, a 45 kd secreted protein, is synthesized as a 1706 amino acid precursor. we have shown that this precursor is a bifunctional protein, carrying both adenylate cyclase and haemolytic activities. the 1250 carboxy-terminal amino acids of the precursor showed 25% similarity with escherichia coli alpha-haemolysin (hlya) and 22% similarity with pasteurella haemolytica leucotoxin. three open reading frames were identified downstream fro ...19882905265
cloning, nucleotide sequence, and characterization of genes encoding the secretion function of the pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin determinant.the structural gene of the pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin determinant is highly homologous to that of the escherichia coli hemolysin determinant, which also encodes a specialized set of genes involved in the secretion of the hemolysin. in this report, we describe the cloning and nucleotide sequence of the analogous secretion genes from p. haemolytica which make up the remainder of the leukotoxin determinant. the secretion genes were cloned directly from the p. haemolytica chromosome to form ...19892914876
pasteurella haemolytica antigens associated with resistance to pneumonic pasteurellosis.antigens associated with whole pasteurella haemolytica biotype a serotype 1, a capsular carbohydrate-protein extract of the organism, and p. haemolytica leukotoxin were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. antigens of the electrophoresed preparations were detected by western blotting (immunoblotting) with sera from cattle which were either nonvaccinated or vaccinated with live or killed p. haemolytica vaccines and had variable degrees of resistance to experimen ...19892917783
development and evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for bovine antibody (igg) to pasteurella haemolytica.the sensitivity of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for bovine igg serum antibody to pasteurella haemolytica was compared with that of an indirect hemagglutination (iha) test. pasteurella haemolytica serotypes were grown in a chemically defined cell culture medium, and soluble antigens released into the growth medium were used in the elisa and iha test. an elisa with serotype-1 antigen consistently detected antibody in sera that were positive by iha test (correlation, 99%). ...19892919816
a retrospective study of hepatic abscesses in goats: pathological and microbiological findings.post-mortem examination of 658 goats showed that 17 (2.5%) exhibited hepatic abscesses. the following bacteria were isolated: corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (58.9%), escherichia coli (11.8%), corynebacterium sp. (11.8%), pasteurella haemolytica (5.9%), proteus sp. (5.9%) and staphylococcus aureus (5.9%). hepatic abscesses occurred more frequently in adult animals. eleven of the 17 goats (64.7%) were older than 12 months of age. four goats (23.5%) were 12 months of age and only two (11.8%) we ...19892920279
fatal pasteurella haemolytica pneumonia in bighorn sheep after direct contact with clinically normal domestic sheep.six rocky mountain bighorn sheep were raised in captivity from birth (n = 5) or taken from the wild as a lamb (n = 1). after the bighorn sheep were in captivity for over a year, 6 clinically normal domestic sheep were placed on the 2 ha of pasture on which the bighorn sheep were kept. nasal swab specimens were obtained from all sheep at the time the domestic sheep were introduced. pasteurella haemolytica was isolated from swab specimens obtained from 4 of 6 domestic sheep, but not from specimens ...19892930021
a rapid micro-method for the study of antibody-mediated killing of bacteria, with specific application to infection of sheep with pasteurella haemolytica.a micro-titration plate bactericidal assay was developed to measure complement-dependent antibody-mediated killing of pasteurella haemolytica. sera and lung washings from specific pathogen-free (spf) lambs convalescent from a challenge with live, virulent p. haemolytica were bactericidal in the presence of complement. similar samples from naive spf lambs had no such activity. purified igg derived from a convalescent lamb serum was as bactericidal as the whole serum. absorption of convalescent se ...19882967579
effect of intratracheal inoculation of pasteurella haemolytica cytotoxin on the integrity of rat lung.this study was conducted to investigate the in vivo effect of a single intratracheal inoculation of pasteurella haemolytica cytotoxin on the rat lung. changes in the biochemical and cytological composition of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were used to estimate the magnitude of pulmonary cell injury, inflammatory response, vascular permeability and functional status of pulmonary alveolar macrophages. effect of treatment was compared with rats intratracheally inoculated with supernatants of pasteur ...19872968834
comparison of the pneumopathogenicity of two strains of bovine viral diarrhea virus.the pneumopathogenicity in calves of 2 strains of bovine viral diarrhea (bvd) virus, isolate 2724 (a noncytopathogenic virus) and isolate 72 (a cytopathogenic virus), was compared. all calves were inoculated endobronchially, using fiberoptic bronchoscopy. two calves were given pasteurella haemolytica, 2 calves were given the noncytopathogenic bvd virus, and 2 calves were given cytopathogenic bvd virus. five calves were inoculated sequentially with bvd virus and, 5 days later, with p haemolytica. ...19852982295
experimental reproduction of septicemic pasteurellosis in feedlot lambs: bacteriologic and pathologic examinations.septicemic pasteurellosis (sp) was induced in feedlot lambs. twenty-eight lambs, randomly allotted into 7 groups, were given combinations of 3 treatments: (i) immunosuppression using hydrocortisone solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide, (ii) rapid changes in feed, from 100% roughage to 90% concentrate, and (iii) oral inoculation of pasteurella haemolytica biotype t. feed changes and immunosuppression by hydrocortisone were needed for the production of sp. pasteurella haemolytica inoculation was not ...19852982297
production of superoxide anion by bovine pulmonary macrophages challenged with soluble and particulate stimuli.the effects of opsonized zymosan, phorbal myristate acetate, and live pasteurella haemolytica on superoxide anion production by bovine pulmonary macrophages were determined. the anion responses were dose-dependent for all stimuli, except for unopsonized p haemolytica. the effect of viable p haemolytica on macrophage viability was related to bacterial dosage and the presence of opsonizing antibody. superoxide responses varied directly with the dose of opsonized live p haemolytica, but indirectly ...19852986492
effect of bovine alpha 1 interferon on bovine herpesvirus type 1-induced respiratory disease.treatment of calves with bovine recombinant alpha 1 interferon prior to challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 increased the animals' ability to withstand a subsequent pasteurella haemolytica challenge. the reduction in viral-bacterial synergy observed following interferon treatment did not appear to be due to a direct effect of the interferon on virus replication in the upper respiratory tract. thus, even though interferon-treated animals shed slightly less virus from their nasal passages tha ...19852997372
experimentally induced pneumonic pasteurellosis: dose-response relationships and protection against natural reinfection in calves.calves were inoculated intranasally with 2 x 10(6.2) tissue culture infective doses of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, followed in 7 days by intratracheal inoculations with 1 of 4 challenge doses of pathogenic pasteurella haemolytica. severity and duration of the ensuing clinical signs of respiratory tract disease were correlated with the challenge dose of bacteria. calves given 1 x 10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) of bacteria did not develop reliable clinical evidence of disease, where ...19853002216
bovine herpesvirus-1 and pasteurella haemolytica aerobiology in experimentally infected calves.eight calves (2 calves in each of 4 groups) were exposed to an aerosol of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) and 4 days later to an aerosol of pasteurella haemolytica. samples of tracheal and exhaled air were taken simultaneously beginning 1 day before viral exposure and once a day up to 3 to 4 days after the bacterial exposure. samples were also taken during the period of aerosol exposure. only 0.04% to 0.42% of p haemolytica-carrying droplets of the bacterial aerosol passed beyond the cranial part o ...19863006556
a simple immunological detection method for the direct screening of genes from clone banks.a simple immunoassay has been developed which can be used in the isolation of particular gene(s) from a clone bank of recombinant plasmids. a clone bank of the dna is constructed with a plasmid vector and maintained in escherichia coli. the recombinant clones were filtered onto a hydrophobic grid membrane and grown up into individual colonies, and a replica was made onto nitrocellulose paper. the bacterial cells were then lysed with chloroform and the proteins were immobilized onto the nitrocell ...19863008788
the effect of parainfluenza virus type 3 on the phagocytic cell response of the ovine lung to pasteurella haemolytica.groups of caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived lambs were inoculated by the intratracheal route with pasteurella haemolytica 4 to 6 days after the inoculation of parainfluenza virus type 3 (pi3). some were killed immediately (0 h) and others 24 h later. control groups were inoculated with pi3 alone, p. haemolytica alone or media alone. pulmonary phagocytic cells, p. haemolytica and pi3 were recovered by pulmonary lavage. the phagocytes were separated into alveolar macrophage (am) and neutrophil ...19863010545
cellular inflammatory response in the lungs of calves exposed to bovine viral diarrhea virus, mycoplasma bovis, and pasteurella haemolytica.three, 5, or 7 days after inoculation with bovine viral diarrhea (bvd) virus (n = 12) or mycoplasma bovis (n = 12), groups of calves were exposed to aerosols of pasteurella haemolytica and were euthanatized 4 hours later. histologic lesions in the lungs and the ratios of neutrophils to alveolar macrophages, collected by bronchoalveolar lavage, were compared with those of clinically healthy calves (n = 8) and calves inoculated with bvd virus only (n = 4), m bovis only (n = 4), or p haemolytica on ...19863014929
induction of immunity against pneumonic pasteurellosis following experimental infection in calves.immunity against pneumonic pasteurellosis was studied in calves after recovery from experimental respiratory disease with pasteurella haemolytica. nine calves were exposed to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus and pasteurella haemolytica a1 six days apart to produce respiratory disease. after recovery from the disease, these nine principal and four control calves were challenged with aerosols of bovine herpesvirus 1 and p. haemolytica a1 four days apart. with this viral-bacterial challenge, the n ...19863017526
the effect of parainfluenza virus type 3 and pasteurella haemolytica on oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent bactericidal mechanisms of ovine pulmonary phagocytic cells.groups of caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived lambs were inoculated by the intratracheal route with pasteurella haemolytica, either alone or 4 or 6 days after the inoculation of parainfluenza virus type 3 (pi3). other groups were inoculated with pi3 followed by veal infusion broth, or with uninfected cell culture fluid followed by veal infusion broth (controls). all lambs were killed 24 h after the second inoculation. pulmonary phagocytic cells were recovered by lavage and separated into alveo ...19863018994
protection of cattle from bovine herpesvirus type i (bhv-1) infection by immunization with individual viral glycoproteins.the major glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) were found to induce high levels of antibody in cattle which could neutralize virus and participate in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity of bhv-1-infected cells. immunized animals were fully protected from disease, using a bhv-1/pasteurella haemolytica aerosol challenge model but not from infection with the virus. thus, virus could still replicate in the nasal passages of immunized animals, although to a lesser extent t ...19873037783
use of recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon in reducing respiratory disease induced by bovine herpesvirus type 1.intranasal or intramuscular treatment of calves with recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon before challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and pasteurella haemolytica reduced clinical signs, number of sick days, lung lesions, and weight loss. the effective dose was determined to be relatively broad within the range of 1 to 50 mg per animal. no adverse effects were observed even at high doses of interferon (50 mg per animal). administration before virus infection was more effective than administr ...19873038008
identification of ovine adenovirus types five and six in an epizootic of respiratory tract disease in recently weaned lambs.eight hundred fourteen polypay-cross lambs, 32 to 35 days old, were housed in an isolation barn under semiconfinement conditions. the lambs were observed twice daily for clinical signs of respiratory tract disease. during the 8-week observation period, an epizootic of respiratory tract disease developed, in which the combined morbidity and mortality was approximately 13%. the overall mortality was 4.1%, of which 57.6% was attributable to pneumonia. pasteurella haemolytica was isolated from 11 (5 ...19873038805
nucleotide sequence of the leukotoxin genes of pasteurella haemolytica a1.a 4.4-kilobase-pair dna fragment coding for the leukotoxin of pasteurella haemolytica a1 has been isolated, and its nucleotide sequence has been determined. two open reading frames, designated lktc and lkta, coding for proteins of 19.8 and 101.9 kilodaltons, respectively, were identified. expression of the two genes in minicell-labeling experiments resulted in the production of the predicted proteins lktc and lkta. by using an antiserum against the soluble antigens of p. haemolytica a1 in wester ...19873040588

experimental contact transmission of pasteurella haemolytica from clinically normal domestic sheep causing pneumonia in rocky mountain bighorn sheep.two rocky mountain bighorn lambs (ovis canadensis canadensis) were held in captivity for 120 days before being housed with two domestic sheep. the lambs were clinically normal and had no pasteurella spp. on nasal swab cultures. the domestic sheep were known to carry pasteurella haemolytica biotype a in the nasal passages. after being in close contact for 19 days. p. haemolytica biotype a was cultured from nasal swabs of one of the bighorn lambs. by 26 days, both bighorn sheep developed coughs, w ...19883193561
haemolytic effect of pasteurella haemolytica on blood from young mammals.on agar plates containing young lamb blood, pasteurella haemolytica produces a wide outer zone of partial haemolysis in addition to the narrow zone of complete clearing seen on adult sheep blood agar. to determine whether this phenomenon was limited to lamb blood, samples from young animals of 20 mammalian species were examined. two species--the barbary sheep (ammotragus lervia) and scimitar horned oryx (oryx tao)--possessed blood that gave this effect provided that the samples were taken from y ...19883194597
susceptibility of rocky mountain bighorn sheep and domestic sheep to pneumonia induced by bighorn and domestic livestock strains of pasteurella haemolytica.bighorn sheep were inoculated intratracheally with suspensions of nonhemolytic pasteurella haemolytica biotype t (10(12) organisms) unique to wild bighorns, with beta-hemolytic p. haemolytica biotype t (10(12) organisms) isolated from clinically normal domestic sheep or intradermally with half a dose of a cattle vaccine containing p. haemolytica biotype a (10(5) organisms). the bighorn strain caused lobar necrotizing bronchopneumonia whereas both domestic livestock strains precipitated fatal sep ...19883196974
elisa for the measurement of sheep antibodies to the capsular antigens of pasteurella haemolytica serotypes.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilising direct binding of capsular polysaccharide antigens to polystyrene immunoassay plates was used to measure sheep antibodies to pasteurella haemolytica a1, a2 and a6 serotypes. low level cross reactivity occurred between a2 antigen and heterologous antisera. a strong unilateral cross reaction between a1 antigen and anti-a6 serum was abolished by absorption. these reactions suggest shared capsular antigens between serotypes.19883212293
genetic determinant of the rob-1 beta-lactamase in bovine and porcine pasteurella strains.the rob-1 beta-lactamase, previously described in haemophilus influenzae, has been found in the genus pasteurella. in three bovine strains of pasteurella multocida and pasteurella haemolytica, rob-1 production was determined by plasmids of 4.4 kilobases. in one porcine strain of pasteurella aerogenes, the enzyme seems to be chromosomally encoded.19883263836
activation of protein breakdown and prostaglandin e2 production in rat skeletal muscle in fever is signaled by a macrophage product distinct from interleukin 1 or other known monokines.during sepsis or after injection of endotoxin into rats, there is a large increase in muscle protein breakdown and prostaglandin e2 (peg2) production. prior studies showed that partially purified interleukin 1 (il-1) from human monocytes can stimulate these processes when added to isolated rat muscles. the availability of pure recombinant il-1 and other monokines has allowed us to investigate the identity of the active agent in this process. incubation of muscles with recombinant human or murine ...19883284911
efficacy of a streptomycin-dependent, live pasteurella haemolytica vaccine against challenge exposure to pasteurella haemolytica in cattle.a streptomycin-dependent, live pasteurella haemolytica vaccine was given in 1 or 2 doses to 2 groups of weaned calves; 2 other groups of calves were not vaccinated. all calves in the vaccinated groups and calves in 1 of the nonvaccinated groups were stressed by transport, intratracheally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus type-1 (cooper strain), and then intratracheally inoculated with p haemolytica type a1. the 4th group of calves (nonvaccinated controls) was not stressed and were not intratrac ...19873296883
analysis of major antigens of haemophilus (actinobacillus) pleuropneumoniae and related organisms.outer membrane protein (omp)-enriched extracts and whole-cell protein preparations of haemophilus (actinobacillus) pleuropneumoniae and related organisms were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. both the omp-enriched and whole-cell protein profiles of actinobacillus suis, a. pleuropneumoniae (nad-independent biovar), a. lignieresii, and pasteurella haemolytica were very similar to those of h. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1 to 8. antisera prepared against h. pleuropne ...19873298061
identification and characterization of the pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin.the identification and chromatographic characterization of the leukotoxin of pasteurella haemolytica is described. the toxin, which has an apparent native molecular weight of greater than 400,000 as judged by gel exclusion chromatography, has a 105-kilodalton (105k) polypeptide as its major protein component. the proteolytic degradation of the 105k polypeptide could be correlated with the loss of toxin activity in aging cultures of p. haemolytica. antisera raised against purified 105k polypeptid ...19873308703
immunoperoxidase evaluation of pneumonic lesions induced by pasteurella haemolytica in calves.calves inoculated with pasteurella haemolytica serovar 1 developed lesions of coagulation necrosis in the lungs that were sharply demarcated by leukocytes. the p haemolytica antigen was detected in the area of coagulation necrosis in histologic sections, using an immunoperoxidase technique. in the central area of the necrotic tissue, the bacterial antigen was diffusely presented in the necrotic alveolar wall, fibrin, serous exudate, and degenerated leukocyte. the bacterial antigen also was found ...19873310766

extensive homology between the leukotoxin of pasteurella haemolytica a1 and the alpha-hemolysin of escherichia coli.the 19.8- and 101.9-kilodalton leukotoxin proteins of pasteurella haemolytica (lktc and lkta, respectively) share extensive homology with the hlyc and hlya alpha-hemolysin proteins of escherichia coli. the leukotoxin lkta protein cross-reacts with hemolysin-specific antisera in western blot (immunoblot) analysis, indicating that it shares epitopes with the alpha-hemolysin hlya protein. both lkta and hlya contain a conserved hydrophobic region, as well as a set of tandemly repeated domains. these ...19873316038
vaccination of calves with leukotoxic culture supernatant from pasteurella haemolytica.in three experiments subcutaneous vaccination of calves with adjuvanted bacteria-free leukotoxic culture supernatant from log phase cultures of pasteurella haemolytica a1 (toxin 1) was shown to induce some protection against intrabronchial challenge with live p. haemolytica a1. this toxin 1 vaccine was as effective as a whole cell bacterin in stimulating agglutinating antibody to p. haemolytica. induction of leukotoxin neutralizing activity was variable; in some cases vaccination only primed the ...19883349399
acute mastitis and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy caused by pasteurella haemolytica in a cow.pasteurella haemolytica was found to be the cause of acute mastitis, toxemia, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in a cow. intensive treatment with antibiotics and fluid and heparin administration failed to reverse the progression of the disease, and death resulted. necropsy revealed extensive evidence of consumptive coagulopathy, as well as mastitis. pasteurella haemolytica rarely has been implicated as a cause of mastitis in cows.19883350743
development and evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for bovine antibody to pasteurella haemolytica: constructing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titer.a 2-stage strategy was developed and evaluated for estimating serum antibody titer by use of elisa and a series of dilutions. in stage 1, the linear response region and least-square estimate of the assay line slope were established from 9-point dilution assays. provided that the reading was within the linear response region, this information was used in the stage-2 estimation of titer from a single absorbance reading. operationally, 2 fixed dilutions were selected, one suitably low and one suita ...19883354965
