the effect of sulfaquinoxaline feed medication on the immunologic response to a pasteurella multocida vaccine administered to turkeys via drinking water.	five groups of turkeys received c.u. strain pasteurella multocida vaccine in the drinking water for one day. one group received the 0.1% level of sulfaquinoxaline feed medication at the time of vaccination, while 4 other groups received the feed medication 1, 2, 3 and 4 days after vaccination, respectively. two weeks after vaccination all groups were exposed to a virulent p-1059 strain of p. multocida by the drinking water route. the results suggest that turkeys on the feed medication at the tim ...	1976	934983
caprine pneumonia in nigeria. i. epidemiology and bacterial flora of normal and diseased respiratory tracts.	the prevalence of caprine pneumonia in nigeria is high during the rainy and "harmattan" seasons. in this investigation the important bacteria isolated both from normal and diseased respiratory tracts of goats were pasteurellae and mycoplasmata.	1976	936301

isolation of an atypical pasteurella-like organism from guinea pig abscesses.	four of a group of 33 (12%) guinea pigs were found to have subdermal abscesses. bacteriologic culture produced an aerogenic pasteurella-like organism. there is some indication that the gram-negative rod may be a yet unclassified pathogen with a predilection for guinea pigs.	1976	940309

the effect of route of immunization on the lapine immune response to killed pasteurella haemolytica and the influence of aerosol challenge with the live organism.	appearance of anti-pasteurella haemolytica antibody in the serum and broncho-alveolar washings of rabbits is independent of the route of immunization and is similar in both locations. the most influential factor in development of a humoral response is exposure to live p. haemolytica and prior exposure to the killed bacterium has no significant effect upon titre determined following aerosol challenge with live organisms.	1976	1000399
actinobacilli in domestic fowl.	reports on haemolytic rods from salpingitis in hens and from organs of died chicks may be found since the year 1950 (kjos-hanssen). correct systematic classification on these microorganisms is still lacked because not all relations to the nearest pasteurellae were known as well as the clear differences in the pasteurella-actinobacillus group. the authors have isolated 34 suspected strains from 14 localities; 25 strains were from salpingitis or internal organs of died fowl inclusively chicks, and ...	1976	1015017

properties of free endotoxin from pasteurella multocida.	free endotoxin (fet) from virulent encapsulated pasteurella multocida or from an avirulent nonencapsulated mutant is capable of inducing active immunity, but the lipopolysaccharide (lps) moiety of the endotoxin is not. these results suggest that a protein of p multocida is involved in the stimulation of active immunity. the serologic specificity of the fet is associated with the lps moiety, which is related to a heat extracted antigen that is used for serotyping p multocida. the fet is capable o ...	1975	1092224

pasteurella multocida. infections after domestic animal bites and scratches.	pasteurella multocida is a common cause of infection followingbites or scratches caused by dogs and cats. however, it is rarely reported and appar-ently often overlooked as a pathogen. it causes the typical clinical manifestationsof a rapidly developing cellulitis at the site of injury. the infection is potentiallydangerous and can cause a chronic local infection of deep tissues and septicemia. however, it responds well to several antimicrobials, with penicillin being the drug ofchoice	1975	1173420
cyclic kinetics and mathematical expression of the primary immune response to soluble antigen. vi. the possibility of prediction of plasma cell reaction in the spleen of mice immunized with soluble antigen.	a mathematical expression of the accumulation of the plasma cells in the spleen of cba mice immunized intraperitoneally is presented. the dependence of the plasma cell reaction in the spleen on the kinetics of antigen concentration in the blood was confirmed. for the transition from antigen to plasma cells, index a was proposed. the mean values of index a were used for comparison of the calculated and experimental values of the plasma cell reaction and the recorded differences were not great. in ...	1975	1176044
dermatophilosis in two polar bears.	dermatophilosis was diagnosed in 2 of 13 captive polar bears (thalarctos maritimus), causing generalized dermatitis of 3 years' and 6 months' duration, respectively. progressive clinical signs included yellowing and darkening of the hair, pruritus, encrustation of skin, and reluctance to bathe. dramatic resolution of lesions occurred during 8 weeks of twice-weekly intramuscular treatment with long-acting penicillin.	1975	1176347
characteristics of pasteurella multocida of human origin.	physiological, serological, morphological, and cultural differences were observed among 30 pasteurella multocida cultures of human origin. the usual variations in the fermentation of glycerol, lactose, sorbitol, trehalose, and xylose were observed. unlike most p. multocida, two cultures did not produce indol. six serotypes were found. in addition to the widely recognized iridescent, blue, and watery mucoid (circular) colonies, punctiform colonies were observed. none of the cultures were pathogen ...	1975	1176608

arthritis associated with yersinia enterocolitica infections.	74 patients, 42 females, 32 men-all over 10 years of age, with acute arthritis associated with infection with yersinia enterocolitica are presented. the diagnosis was based on serological evidence in all cases (an agglutinin titre of 320 or more), and in 18 of the cases also a positive culture of y. ent. from faeces. the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was very high in most cases. acute enteritis, sometimes with abdominal pain, preceded the acute arthritis with a latent period of about 1-14 days. ...	1975	1179174
