Molecular detection of virulent Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida in lung tissues of pneumonic sheep from semiarid tropics, Rajasthan, India

Abstract: The present study was planned to detect the genetic elements of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida in pneumonic sheep lungs. Pneumonia was diagnosed on the basis of gross pathological lesions. Lung tissues were collected at necropsy of sheep (n = 96) and subjected to isolation of total DNA. The M. haemolytica-specific PHSSA and Rpt2 genes, and the P. multocidaspecific KMT1 and the Omp87 genes were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A housekeeping gene targeting the sheep cellular mi… Show more

“…Isolation and identification of M. haemolytica and P. multocida based on the cultural and biochemical characters and by the PCR assays targeting the specific genes have been reported earlier similar to the present study [13,31]. Moreover, the specific identification of P. multocida by 16S rRNA and KMT1 gene and the characterization by capsular typing has a significant impact on the epidemiology and control of pasteurellosis in domestic animals [8,32,33]. It is also proposed that the molecular typing methods provide rapid bacterial identification and have proved to be more specific over the cultural and biochemical tests [13,34].…”

“…Of the 213 cultures two (2) nasal swabs were tentatively identi ed as M.haemolytica. This nding is lower than the ndings of [32], [33], [34] whose reports were 2.22% in sheep and goat, 11.2% in sheep and 14.10% and 11.80% in sheep and goats respectively.…”

“…In the evening, the animals returned back to the shed where they were provided with dry and green fodder and the formulated concentrates. Pneumonia was the leading cause of mortality at the farms [7,8]. Clinically, the sheep and goats exhibited coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, and labored breathing.…”
