Insights into the genome sequence of ovine Pasteurella multocida type A strain associated with pneumonic pasteurellosis

摘要

Pasteurella multocida is a causative agent of pneumonic pasteurellosis in ruminants. Bovine and porcine strains of P. multocida have been sequenced and analyzed worldwide. However limited genomic information is available on ovine strains involved in causation of pneumonic pasteurellosis. Therefore, the present study focused on genome sequencing and analysis of a P. multocida type A isolate recovered from respiratory infection of sheep to unravel the genetic contents and its involvement in the disease.
