| Abstract: | 77 strains of Pasteurella from various animal species were tested using the API micromethod for their ability to assimilate 147 carbon substrates and ferment 49 carbohydrates. Typical profiles of P. multocida and P. haemolytica were determined. This micromethod should prove useful in establishing the biotypes of Pasteurella species and in studying their epidemiology and pathogenicity. |
