toxigenic type d pasteurella multocida in new south wales pig herds--prevalence and factors associated with infection.	between march and july 1987, a study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with toxigenic type d pasteurella multocida infection in new south wales pig herds. toxigenic type d p. multocida was isolated from the nasal cavities of pigs in one (2%) of 50 randomly selected herds. toxigenic isolates were also recovered from 2 (8%) of a separate group of 25 herds that had purchased pigs from a known infected piggery in south australia (herd sa). snout abnormalities were ...	1989	2818358
pasteurella multocida septicaemia in fallow deer (dama dama).	thirteen of 100 fallow deer, aged between 6 months and 10 years, died over a 5 week period. the deaths occurred in 2 outbreaks 3 weeks apart. both outbreaks were preceded by at least 3 days of cold wet and windy weather, and were associated with water-logged pastures. affected animals were usually found dead, with a frothy blood-stained nasal discharge. in the 8 deer necropsied, gross lesions included widespread subserosal petechial haemorrhages, severe pulmonary congestion and oedema with froth ...	1991	1888312

characterisation of pasteurella multocida isolated from fowl cholera outbreaks on turkey farms.	biochemical profiles, restriction endonuclease analysis (rea) and ribotyping were used to investigate pasteurella multocida isolates from outbreaks of fowl cholera on 7 turkey farms in new south wales. while only a single isolate was available from 5 of the farms, multiple isolates, 4 and 12 respectively, were available from the other 2 farms. the available field evidence suggested that 8 outbreaks had occurred with one farm suffering 2 outbreaks. the isolates obtained were all confirmed as past ...	1995	7544114
phenotypic characterisation of pasteurella multocida isolates from australian pigs.	a phenotypic characterisation of 150 isolates of bacteria previously identified as pasteurella multocida was performed. all the isolates had been obtained from australian pigs in the three eastern states of queensland (110 isolates), new south wales (21 isolates) and victoria (19 isolates). seven different biochemical biovars were recognised amongst the isolates. a total of 100 isolates (67%) were assigned to biovar 3, previously shown to be the most common biovar in isolates of p. multocida fro ...	1997	9444072

sir charles james martin mb frs: australian serpents and indian plague, one-hundred years ago.	in 1891 as demonstrator in physiology at the university of sydney, charles martin began the first systematic study of the chemical and physiological properties of the venoms of the australian elapid species, pseudechis porphyriacus and notechis scutatus. two major constituents were detected: a large coagulable protein which was associated with intravascular clotting, and a small proteinaceous molecule, an albumose, associated with neurotoxicity. martin designed and constructed a high-pressure ge ...	1997	9247999
demonstration that australian pasteurella multocida isolates from sporadic outbreaks of porcine pneumonia are non-toxigenic (toxa-) and display heterogeneous dna restriction endonuclease profiles compared with toxigenic isolates from herds with progressive atrophic rhinitis.	capsular types a and d of pasteurella multocida cause economic losses in swine because of their association with progressive atrophic rhinitis (par) and enzootic pneumonia. there have been no studies comparing whole-cell dna profiles of isolates associated with these two porcine respiratory diseases. twenty-two isolates of p. multocida from diseased pigs in different geographic localities within australia were characterised genotypically by restriction endonuclease analysis (rea) with the enzyme ...	1998	9877188
a case-control study of respiratory disease in thoroughbred racehorses in sydney, australia.	in order to investigate the role of infectious agents in the aetiology of lower respiratory tract disease in thoroughbred racehorses, a matched case-control study was conducted. cases were identified by the presence of coughing, and were compared to a control population matched on time of sample collection and location within the same training establishment. tracheal wash samples were collected from 100 cases and 148 controls. case horses were more likely than controls to have endoscopic and cyt ...	2001	11352347
a retrospective analysis of feline bronchoalveolar lavage cytology and microbiology (1995-2000).	a retrospective study of 88 bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from 80 cats presenting to the university of sydney veterinary centre between 1995 and 2000 was performed. bronchoalveolar lavage cytology and microbiology in conjunction with other diagnostic aids and patient records were used to classify cases as lower respiratory tract infections (ltris), lrti revisits, feline bronchial disease, cardiac disease, neoplastic disease and multisystemic disease. cases for which a definitive diagnosis cou ...	2004	15135356
lower respiratory tract infections in cats: 21 cases (1995-2000).	twenty-one lower respiratory tract infections diagnosed in cats at university of sydney veterinary centre between 1995 and 2000 were identified retrospectively. patient records were analysed to determine historical, clinical, clinicopathologic and radiographic features of lower respiratory tract infections. response to therapy was also assessed. infectious agents identified were mycoplasma spp., pasteurella spp., bordetella bronchiseptica, salmonella typhimurium, pseudomonas sp., mycobacterium t ...	2004	15135354
review article: animal bites: an update for management with a focus on infections.	animal bites are a significant public health problem, with an estimated 2% of the population bitten each year. the majority of bites are from dogs and risk factors include young children, men, certain dog breeds and unrestrained dogs. the risk of infection following bites differs among animal species and is dependent on animal dentition and oral flora. recent studies have demonstrated a broad range of pathogens isolated from infected bite wounds, with pasteurella species being the predominant is ...	2008	19125823
