Abstract
The present investigation describes a novel method of demonstrating strain diversity among Pasteurella haemolytica biovar A, serovar 2 (PhA2) nasal turbinate isolates from a flock of 32 experimental goats during a naturally occurring outbreak of pasteurellosis. After a 21 day conditioning period in a feedyard, 51 PhA2 isolates from 27 culture-positive goats were identified including 1 on day 22, 14 on day 25, 21 on day 39, and 15 on day 66. Each PhA2 isolate was evaluated for its enzyme activity against 19 substrates with a commercial semiquantitative enzyme system and for its antimicrobial susceptibility with 12 drugs, resulting in 7 different enzyme profiles and 8 different antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. A total of 14 combined enzyme and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were produced. The same PhA2 strain was isolated from only 4 of the 12 goats with 2 PhA2 isolations, while the same PhA2 strain was isolated from only 1 of the 6 goats with 3 PhA2 isolations. The data from this investigation demonstrated that the PhA2 upper respiratory tract flora from goats is highly heterologous.
本研究描述了一种新的方法来证明在自然发生的巴氏杆菌病暴发期间,从32只实验山羊群中分离出的溶血性巴氏杆菌生物变种a,血清型2 (PhA2)鼻鼻甲分离株的菌株多样性。饲养21 d后,从27只培养阳性山羊中分离出51株PhA2,其中22 d 1株,25 d 14株,39 d 21株,66 d 15株。利用商业半定量酶系统评估每个PhA2分离物对19种底物的酶活性和对12种药物的抗菌敏感性,得到7种不同的酶谱和8种不同的抗菌敏感性谱。共获得14个酶和抗菌药物联合敏感性谱。在12只分离到2株PhA2的山羊中,仅有4只山羊分离到相同的PhA2菌株,而在6只分离到3株PhA2的山羊中,仅有1只山羊分离到相同的PhA2菌株。结果表明,山羊上呼吸道PhA2菌群具有高度的异源性。
