Vaccination of turkeys by administering Pasteurella multocida mutant PM#1 or PM#3, either by the oculo-nasal-oral method or in the drinking water, induced a level of protection comparable to vaccination with the Clemson University (CU) strain or the M-9 vaccine. The level of protection was not altered when PM#1, PM#3, or the CU strain was grown in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth or BHI agar. Under extremely severe challenges, the CU strain provided a greater level of protection than PM#1, PM#3, or the M-9 vaccine. It also was apparent from this study that the less-virulent mutant organisms and the M-9 vaccine require a higher concentration of organism per vaccine dose than the CU strain to provide similar protection.  相似文献

Two experiments were done to further define cell-free culture filtrate (CCF) from Pasteurella multocida and its endotoxin content in protecting turkeys against challenge. In the first experiment, the greater-than-30,000-molecular-weight fraction of P. multocida strain R44/6 (serotype 3/4/9/12) CCF was used in 10-fold dilutions given by air-sac inoculation or aerosol to vaccinate turkeys, which were subsequently challenged with either homologous (P-1059, serotype 3) or heterologous (X-73, serotype 1) strains. Endotoxin content of the CCF fraction was high. Compared with positive controls given either live Clemson University vaccine or a commercial bacterin, homologous protection was provided by undiluted CCF and 1:10 dilutions of CCF, but there was no heterologous protection. In the second experiment, CCF of strain R44/6 in regular and iron-limiting media and CCF of strain FC127B (serotype 1/4) were used alone or in combination to vaccinate turkeys, which were challenged as in the first experiment. Homologous but not heterologous protection occurred, even though growth of strain R44/6 in iron-limiting media reduced endotoxin content of CCF by approximately 93%. These results indicate that endotoxin levels of less than 10% but greater than 1% of those in CCF from regular media are sufficient to induce protection in turkeys against homologous challenge but that CCF from either regular or iron-limiting medium does not provide protection against heterologous challenge.  相似文献

A live cholera vaccine was developed from a virulent avian septicemia strain of Pasteurella multocida serotype 1. The virulent parental strain was mutagenized with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroso guanidine. Mutants were selected that had either smaller colonies at 37 C or temperature sensitivity for growth at 41 C. Four small-colony mutants and 2 temperature-sensitive mutants were studied. All the mutants were avirulent for turkeys. Sixteen days after turkeys were vaccinated with each mutant, both the vaccinates and unvaccinated controls were challenge-exposed to virulent P. multocida of the homologous serotype and the heterologous serotype 3. Two of the small-colony mutant strains protected against both homologous and heterologous challenge. Suggested for a live cholera vaccine is P. multocida M3G, a small-colony-forming mutant, innocuous for both mice and turkeys and stable against reversion.  相似文献

The pathogenesis of avian pasteurellosis caused by two vaccine strains, M-9 and Clemson University (CU), and a highly virulent field isolate, 86-1913, of Pasteurella multocida (serotype A:3,4) was studied in 7-week-old turkeys inoculated by an oculo-nasal-oral technique. Turkeys inoculated with strain CU and isolate 86-1913 developed severe progressive bacteremia that began at 4 hours postinoculation (PI) and peaked at 16-20 hours PI. Turkeys inoculated with strain CU and isolate 86-1913 had significantly higher concentrations of bacteria in blood and tissues, and greater histologic lesion scores for necrosis, heterophil infiltrates, and intralesional bacteria than turkeys inoculated with strain M-9. Immunohistochemical staining specific for P. multocida demonstrated numerous extracellular bacteria in tissues from turkeys inoculated with strain CU and isolate 86-1913. The mortality for turkeys inoculated with isolate 86-1913 was significantly higher than for turkeys receiving the two vaccine strains.  相似文献

Growing turkeys were partly protected against fowl cholera 4 days after vaccination with the live Clemson University (CU) strain of Pasteurella multocida administered in drinking water, and they were highly protected from 1 to 4 weeks after vaccination. The commercially available lyophilized vaccine and the freshly cultured vaccine of the CU strain did not differ in the level of immunity induced. Immunity was relatively high in turkeys vaccinated with 1:2 and 1:4 dilutions of the recommended dosage (4 X 10(8) P. multocida) but was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in turkeys vaccinated with a 1:8 dilution of the recommended dosage. Immunity continued for 13 weeks after the last vaccination in turkeys vaccinated twice 3 weeks apart, but it persisted for only 8 weeks in those vaccinated only once.  相似文献

Rabbit pasteurellosis: induced disease and vaccination   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Pasteurellosis was induced in rabbits by conjunctival inoculation with 2 strains of Pasteurella multocida. The LD50 of strain P1062 (a bovine isolate) was 10(5.1) colony-forming units and that of strain P1059 (a turkey isolate) was 10(5.5) colony-forming units. Pasteurella-free rabbits were vaccinated IV or mucosally with boiled cells of P multocida or a cross-reactive uridine diphosphogalactose epimerase-deficient mutant of Escherichia coli J5. In rabbits challenge exposed with P multocida strain 1062 or 1059, homologous P multocida strain gave the best protection against fatal bacteremia. Partial protection was provided by J5; mucosal routes of vaccination (aerosol or conjunctival) gave better protection than did the IV route. Serum antibody titers were lower in rabbits vaccinated by mucosal routes than in those vaccinated IV. Cross-reactive IgG and IgM titers to P multocida were demonstrated when rabbits were vaccinated with J5. On the basis of bacteriologic examination of nasal secretions, rabbits that died were considered culture positive sooner than were those that survived. On the basis of bacteriologic examination of blood, rabbits that died were considered culture positive, and those that survived were considered culture negative. Seemingly, heat-stable antigens were protective, the cross-reactive E coli J5 mutant (with only core lipopolysaccharide) provided partial protection against pasteurellosis, and the mucosal route was somewhat useful for cross-protective immunization.  相似文献

Turkeys given cell-free culture filtrate (CCF) of Pasteurella multocida strain R44/6 orally, via air sacs, or subcutaneously mixed 1:1 with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) at 6 and 9.5 weeks of age were compared with negative controls given bacteriologic medium and positive controls vaccinated with a commercial bacterin. At 13 weeks of age, serum antibody titers to P. multocida were detectable only in turkeys given CCF in IFA (low titers) and positive control turkeys (high titers), at which time turkeys were challenged orally with either the homologous strain or strain P-1059. Protection against challenge with strain R44/6 was provided by the commercial bacterin, CCF in IFA, and CCF given via air sacs. When turkeys were challenged with strain P-1059, protection was superior in turkeys given CCF via air sacs, intermediate in turkeys given commercial bacterin or CCF in IFA, and absent in negative control turkeys and turkeys given CCF orally. These results indicate CCF is an effective immunogen when administered via the lower respiratory tract for protecting turkeys against pasteurellosis.  相似文献

Turkeys surgically bursectomized, irradiated, and/or injected with cyclophosphamide at 1 day were vaccinated with the live Clemson University (CU) strain of Pasteurella multocida. Bursectomized turkeys vaccinated via drinking water or wing-web puncture at 7 weeks and challenged at 11 weeks had a significantly (P less than 0.05) lower survival rate after challenge than unbursectomized controls. Bursectomized and unbursectomized turkeys vaccinated via drinking water at 7 weeks, revaccinated via the auditory tube at 11 weeks, and challenged at 15 weeks had similar survival rates. The vaccinated bursectomized turkeys had significantly (P less than 0.05) lower levels of serum anti-P. multocida antibody than vaccinated unbursectomized controls. Radiation had no immunosuppressive effect. The immunosuppressive effect of cyclophosphamide was dosage-dependent. Bursectomy and injection of cyclophosphamide in the same turkey were complementary. It was concluded that in young turkeys, the development of immunity to the avirulent CU vaccine is highly dependent upon the bursa of Fabricius, but that as they grow older the bursa is of less importance, particularly if they were vaccinated via a parenteral route, such as in the air spaces of the head.  相似文献

Vaccination of turkey breeder hens and toms for fowl cholera with CU strain   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Unvaccinated laying breeder hens and semen-producing toms were susceptible to the CU strain of Pasteurella multocida and highly susceptible to a virulent strain of P. multocida. Laying breeders vaccinated with CU strain when environmental temperatures were low ceased egg production during the first week after vaccination and had 29% mortality, whereas those vaccinated when temperatures were moderate had only a 25% decrease in egg production and 17% mortality. Comparable nonlaying breeders vaccinated during moderate temperatures did not die. Although few semen-producing toms died postvaccination and the quantity and quality of semen was not affected, 21.7% developed torticollis. Laying breeders were protected against CU vaccine and challenge with virulent P. multocida if vaccinated every 4 weeks beginning when 7 weeks old. Potential breeders vaccinated before laying with combinations of 3 vaccinations via drinking water, wing-web puncture, or inoculation into the air spaces of the head through the auditory tube were protected against challenge after the onset of laying. However, vaccination via wing-web puncture at 25 weeks of age resulted in abscesses that failed to resolve. The combination of vaccinations most effective in protecting laying breeders was vaccination in the drinking water at 7 and 11 weeks and inoculation into the air spaces of the head at 15 weeks.  相似文献

The M-9 and Minnesota (MN) avirulent Pasteurella multocida vaccines were evaluated and compared with the Clemson University (CU) vaccine, which had been shown to be highly effective in preventing fowl cholera in turkeys. Neither the M-9 nor the MN vaccine given in the drinking water was as effective as the CU vaccine in protecting turkeys against challenge with virulent P. multocida. When grown in brain-heart infusion (BHI) agar as recommended, the M-9 was not as efficacious as when it was grown in BHI broth. The M-9 was as effective as the CU vaccine only when grown in BHI broth and given at 10 times the standard dosage. Injection of the M-9 vaccine into the air spaces of the head at a site near the caudal rim of the ear after one vaccination in the drinking water was not as effective for hyperimmunizing potential breeders as was the CU vaccine injected at the same site. A microtiter agglutination test demonstrated a significant (P less than 0.05) correlation between the level of anti-P. multocida antibody found 1 week after vaccination and survival after challenge with virulent P. multocida.  相似文献

The genomes from field isolates of Pasteurella multocida in turkeys and those of P multocida reference CU and M9 vaccine strains were analyzed and compared after cleavage with restriction endonucleases. The electrophoretic profiles obtained with DNA fragments from field isolates and vaccine strains of the same serotype were characteristic and reproducible. These features indicated the existence of differences among the isolates of the same serotype that cannot currently be detected, using available serotyping methods. However, several field isolates had electrophoretic profiles similar to those of either CU or M9 vaccine strain. It was concluded that restriction endonuclease analysis of DNA genomes from P multocida isolated from turkeys provides the information for differentiation of field isolates from vaccine strains of the same serotype.  相似文献

Administered via the drinking water, M-3-G, an attenuated strain of Pasteurella multocida of serotype 1, was found to immunize turkeys and chickens against fowl cholera. Immunity was tested by challenging birds intramuscularly, by palatine cleft swab, or orally after 3 vaccinations. No reactions to vaccination were noted in 390 turkeys in 12 laboratory trials, nor in 20,245 vaccinated in field trials. Chickens showed no vaccination reactions, and immunity was elicited by challenge in a laboratory trial and in face of natural outbreaks in the field, where 11,600 chickens were vaccinated. No vaccination reactions were noted, although most birds involved in the trials were carrying Mycoplasma spp. Immunity was found to last about 10 weeks after the last vaccination. The immunizing properties of M-3-G are compared with the CU strain.  相似文献

Twenty-six female and 26 male turkeys, inoculated into the caudal thoracic air sacs with cell-free culture filtrate of Pasteurella multocida strain R44/6, were examined from 0 to 6 hours post-inoculation and compared with 26 female and 26 male sham-inoculated control turkeys given brain-heart-infusion broth. The air sac reacted rapidly with exudation of heterophils. Microscopically, low numbers of heterophils were present within air sac blood vessels and also perivascularly by 0.5 hour after inoculation. These became more numerous by 1.5 and 3 hours post-inoculation. By 6 hours post-inoculation, there was severe swelling of air sac epithelial and mesothelial cells and thickening of the air sac by proteinaceous fluid and heterophils. Ultrastructurally, mesothelial and air sac epithelial cells were vacuolated, and interdigitating processes of epithelial cells were separated. Microscopically, in control turkeys, rare heterophils were present perivascularly at 1.5, 3, and 6 hours after inoculation. Ultrastructurally, all features were normal. In turkeys given cell-free culture filtrate, total cell counts in air sac lavage fluids increased markedly by 3 hours post-inoculation in which heterophils predominated (greater than 97%). There were only slight increases in cell counts of air sac lavages from control turkeys. The circulating blood heterophil cell count dropped transiently at 1.5 hours post-inoculation, followed by a return to normal 3 hours after inoculation, and by heterophilia by 6 hours post-inoculation in turkeys given either cell-free culture filtrate or brain-heart-infusion broth. These results indicate cell-free culture filtrate of P. multocida induces hematologic, cytologic, and morphologic changes indistinguishable from those induced by cultures of P. multocida.  相似文献

The relationship between serum anti-Pasteurella multocida antibodies and survival rates after challenge was determined in turkeys vaccinated one or more times with the live avirulent Clemson University (CU) vaccine and then challenged with a virulent isolate (9481) of P. multocida in the drinking water. A microtiter agglutination test for assaying anti-P. multocida serum antibodies demonstrated a highly significant (P less than 0.001) correlation between the serum antibody titer 1 week after the initial or single vaccination and the survival rate after challenge, and a significant (P less than 0.01) correlation between the antibody titer immediately before challenge and the survival rate after challenge. A highly significant (P less than 0.0001) correlation was also observed between the antibody titer before vaccination and the survival rate after challenge. This relationship was considered the result of an anamnestic response by the CU vaccine to a previous sensitization by antigens of other microbial organisms, probably in the intestine and similar antigenically to P. multocida. In contrast, a significant (P less than 0.05) but negative correlation was seen between the antibody titer 1 week after challenge and the survival rate. This relationship was thought to be the result of a marked stimulation of the antibody titer by the systemic infection of P. multocida that subsequently killed the turkeys.  相似文献

Turkey breeder candidates were exposed to attenuated Pasteurella multocida (Clemson University strain) via both mouth (one or three times) and wing-web stick (one or two times). Significant protection lasting to 25-30 weeks post-vaccination was conferred under such immunization programs. The best protection with the fewest adverse effects of vaccination was established when orally vaccinated turkeys were subsequently vaccinated via wing-web at 20 and 25 weeks of age. High doses of attenuated P. multocida via wing-web produced lameness (synovitis and osteomyelitis) and severe wing lesions in growing turkeys.  相似文献

A commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect serological response to vaccination and virulent challenge with type 1 (X-73) Pasteurella multocida was used to determine the best vaccination protocol for broiler breeders against fowl cholera. Birds vaccinated twice, at 10 and 19 weeks of age, with the avirulent Clemson University (CU) strain both times, with a commercial bacterin first and the CU strain second, or with the CU strain first and bacterin second had the highest survival rates (98-100%) following challenge at 25 weeks. The two groups that received the CU strain and bacterin also produced the highest mean ELISA antibody titers (greater than 10,000). Birds vaccinated once, at 10 weeks, with the CU strain had the same survival rate as birds vaccinated twice with bacterin (90 and 91%). Under the conditions of this experiment, an ELISA titer greater than or equal to 1000 resulted in at least a 92% survival rate after virulent challenge (23% survival in nonvaccinates).  相似文献

Sixty-four, 10-week-old turkeys were inoculated with a highly virulent field isolate (86-1913) of Pasteurella multocida serotype A:3,4 by an oculo-nasal-oral route. Inoculated turkeys were examined at 4, 8, 16, 20, and 24 hours post-inoculation for bacteremia and histologic lesions. Bacteremia was detected in one of six turkeys 8 hours after inoculation and in four of six turkey poults at 16 hours post-inoculation. Pasteurella multocida was isolated from the spleens of two turkeys at 8 hours and from the spleens of all six poults 16 hours after inoculation. Peak concentrations of P. multocida reached 10(9) colony forming units per ml of blood. At 4 to 8 hours post-inoculation, isolate 86-1913 produced a fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia followed by severe pulmonary necrosis, pleuritis, vasculitis; and, at 16 to 24 hours post-inoculation numerous extracellular bacteria were observed. Hepatic lesions included focal heterophil aggregates 8 hours after inoculation; these progressed to hepatic necrosis. Numerous extracellular bacteria within sinusoids were present 16 to 24 hours after inoculation. At 16 to 24 hours post-inoculation, there was degeneration of periarteriolar reticular cells in the spleen; these cells progressed to coalescing coagulative splenic necrosis with extracellular bacterial colonies. A second group of 41, 10-week-old turkeys, previously vaccinated with the Clemson University strain of P. multocida serotype A:3,4, were challenged with isolate 86-1913.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Oral vaccination of turkeys with live avirulent strains of P. multocida (M-2283 and CU strain) resulted in the local as well as systemic dissemination of the organisms. The persistence of P. multocida in the lungs and splenic tissues of these vaccinated turkeys was demonstrated by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. All of the tissues examined up to the first week post vaccination were P. multocida positive. Cryostat sections of lungs from birds vaccinated with the avirulent strain M-2283 were negative at 2 weeks post vaccination, while the spleen continued to be positive up to the third week post vaccination. In contrast to the group of turkeys vaccinated with strain M-2283, lung and spleen cryostat sections from turkeys vaccinated with strain CU remained positive up to the fourth week post vaccination. Tissues examined thereafter were negative for the presence of P. multocida from both groups.The major immune mechanism in the defense against fowl cholera is still unknown. If local immunity is primarily responsible, the CU strain may be the better vaccine strain as it persists in the lungs for 2 weeks longer than the M-2283 strain. However, if systemic immunity is chiefly responsible for immunity, both strains could protect equally, since they persist in the spleen for approximately the same period of time.  相似文献

The effect of avian influenza virus (AIV) infection on the ability of turkeys to eliminate Pasteurella multocida from the respiratory tract was evaluated. Four-week-old turkeys were experimentally infected with an apathogenic AIV subtype (H5N2) by the oculonasal route and subsequently superinfected with P multocida (Urbach strain) by the intranasal route three days after infection with AIV. Quantitative clearance of P multocida from the trachea and lung was determined using a pour plate technique on samples collected at intervals after infection. Samples from turkeys which had been infected with AIV were found to yield more P multocida than those from turkeys which had not been infected with AIV. The numbers of P multocida increased in infected birds to a greater extent than in birds which had not been infected with the virus. The present study suggests that AIV infection may contribute to the increased numbers and a decreased clearance of P multocida in turkeys.  相似文献

Experimental fowl cholera was induced in 60 healthy 10-week-old broiler chickens and 8-week-old turkeys by intramuscular inoculation with approximately 80 colony-forming units (cfu) of Pasteurella multocida X-73 strain and with approximately 70 cfu of P. multocida P-1059 strain, respectively. This method of infection proved to be useful for evaluating the efficacy of anti-microbial medication, by measuring mortality, weight gain, pathological responses and frequency of re-isolation of P. multocida. The efficacies of two different dosing methods, continuous and pulse dosing, were compared. Using the continuous-dosing method, norfloxacin was administered to drinking water at 100 mg/l for 5 days in chickens. Efficacies were slightly improved compared with pulse dosing at 15 mg/kg bodyweight for the same length of time. The opposite was observed in turkeys, to the degree of control of mortality and maintenance of weight gain.  相似文献
