ABSTRACT. Pasteurella multocida, serovar A: 3, selected by pathogenicity in mice from among 10 strains isolated from pneumonic lesions of calves, was adjusted to 10 7 , 10 8 and 10 10 colony-forming units (CFU), and inoculated intratracheally into four calves. All calves showed pyrexia and had lungs with congestion and hepatization. Inoculation with 10 10 CFU of bacteria produced respiratory symptoms and abscesses in lungs. This information will aid elucidation of the pathogenicity of P. multocida and the development of vaccines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
