Survival of avian strains of Pasteurella multocida in chicken serum

The ability of bacteria to survive in serum is considered a likely virulence determinant in diseases where the infective bacteria become septicaemic. Optimal conditions were established to test the survival of Pasteurella multocida in chicken serum. Serum was used at 90%, the inoculum was 10 3–10 4...

Zusammenfassung:The ability of bacteria to survive in serum is considered a likely virulence determinant in diseases where the infective bacteria become septicaemic. Optimal conditions were established to test the survival of Pasteurella multocida in chicken serum. Serum was used at 90%, the inoculum was 10 3–10 4 cfu in phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4. Survival was measured after incubation for 2–4 h; if survival was
