Abstract
This study describes the prevalence of capsule biosynthesis genes, LPS genotypes, virulence associated genes and the analysis of the outer membrane protein (ompA) sequence of Pasteurella multocida isolates (n = 180) from different locations in Hungary, from various host species, including humans. When combining capsular types with LPS genotypes, eight capsule - LPS genotype combinations were detected. A: L3 was the most dominant in bovine and porcine isolates, A: L1 in feline and human isolates, while D: L3 was the most common among strains from small ruminants. The P. multocida toxin encoding gene toxA was highly prevalent among small ruminant and porcine strains, while in human, feline and bovine isolates it could not be detected. Combination of the tested virulence associated genes (hgbA, nanH, hgbB, tbpA, pfhA, hsf1, hsf2, tadD, ptfA) classified our P. multocida isolates into 13 different virulence gene profiles (VGPs). These VGPs showed an association with host species. Analysis of the ompA sequence data confirmed this distribution by host species, which may indicate that host adaptation is taking place. The typing scheme used in this study may be useful in epidemiological investigations.

Abstract
Background Pasteurella multocida meningitis in an immunocompetent patient is rare and commonly occurs after animal bite. To our knowledge, only 48 cases have been reported in the literature since 1989. P. multocida meningitis is commonly linked to animal contagion. Here we report on a new case of P. multocida meningitis in an immunocompetent patient who is a dog owner without a dog bite. We used the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to investigate the clonal lineage between animal and human isolates. Case presentation In our case, a 25-year-old immunocompetent French Caucasian woman with nothing notable in her medical history was admitted for meningitis caused by P. multocida. Clonal lineage of P. multocida strains from cerebrospinal fluid and blood culture and her dog’s oral cavity has been recognized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry dendrograms and clustering of the 21 P. multocida isolates in our centres. She was treated by a combination of intravenous ceftriaxone (2 g/day) and oral levofloxacin (1 g/day). She was discharged on the 6th day of admission. The antimicrobial therapy was conducted for 15 days. The dog was treated by clavulanic-acid amoxicillin for 3 weeks by the veterinarian. The evolution of the patient at the 5th month after the end of the antimicrobial therapy was normal without any neurological after-effects. Conclusion The meningitis caused by P. multocida could be considered a cause of human meningitis in dog lovers without an animal bite. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry should be considered as it is an accurate tool to identify clonal lineage between animal and human isolates.

Abstract
Abstract: In order to understand better the pathological aspects and spread of Pasteurella multocida type A as the primary cause of pneumonia in pigs, was made an experiment with intranasal inoculation of different concentrations of inocula [Group (G1): 108 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/ml; G2: 107 CFU/ml; G3: 106 CFU/ml and G4: 105 CFU/ml], using two pigs per group. The pigs were obtained from a high health status herd. Pigs were monitored clinically for 4 days and subsequently necropsied. All pigs had clinical signs and lesions associated with respiratory disease. Dyspnoea and hyperthermia were the main clinical signs observed. Suppurative cranioventral bronchopneumonia, in some cases associated with necrosuppurative pleuropneumonia, fibrinous pericarditis and pleuritic, were the most frequent types of lesion found. The disease evolved with septicaemia, characterized by septic infarctions in the liver and spleen, with the detection of P. multocida type A. In this study, P. multocida type A strain #11246 was the primary agent of fibrinous pleuritis and suppurative cranioventral bronchopneumonia, pericarditis and septicaemia in the pigs. All concentrations of inoculum used (105-108 CFU/ml) were able to produce clinical and pathological changes of pneumonia, pleuritis, pericarditis and septicemia in challenged animals.

Abstract
The concept that bacterial infection could cause cancer has only recently become accepted because of the strong epidemiological and molecular evidence for a major carcinogenic role played by Helicobacter pylori. However, information on other potential bacterial carcinogens is very limited and thereby unconvincing. A different approach is to assess bacteria for potentially pro-carcinogenic properties. The Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) has many properties that mark it out as a potential carcinogen. PMT is a highly potent mitogen and has been demonstrated to block apoptosis. PMT modifies and activates members of three of the four families of heterotrimeric G-proteins, all of which have potential roles in carcinogenesis. Many signalling components downstream of these G-proteins are known proto-oncogenes and have been shown to be activated by PMT. These include, amongst others, the Rho GTPase, focal adhesion kinase, cyclooxygenase-2, β-catenin signalling and calcium signalling. PMT action potentially influences many of the acquired Hanahan/Weinberg capabilities necessary for oncogenic transformation. Although there is little evidence that PMT might have a role in human cancer, it serves as an important and novel paradigm for a bacterial link to cancer.

Abstract
The molecular epidemiology of Pasteurella multocida has rarely been studied at the farm level in cattle. The aim of this study was to determine whether single or multiple strains of P. multocida tend to exist within farms. Molecular characterisation was carried out on isolates obtained from nasal swabs from 105 calves from 32 randomly selected beef and dairy farms located throughout Scotland, and from 131 calves from 20 farms in the Mayenne region of France, where sampling occurred in response to respiratory disease outbreaks. P. multocida isolates were characterised by random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using restriction enzyme ApaI. In addition, isolates representative of each farm/RAPD profile combination were typed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Among 105 Scottish isolates, 15 RAPD profiles were distinguished. The majority of farms (27/32) had indistinguishable profiles in all positive animals. Five farms had two profiles. Among 140 French isolates, 23 RAPD profiles were distinguished. More within-farm heterogeneity was observed although 10/20 farms had just one profile (E4) in sampled calves. Profile E4 accounted for 60% (84/140) of French isolates. PFGE was more discriminatory than RAPD but confirmed results with respect to within farm homogeneity or heterogeneity of strains, whereas MLST was not discriminatory enough for farm level epidemiology. As in other host species, either several strains or one dominant strain of P. multocida may exist within farms, with evidence for a role of management factors such as movements onto the farm in the number of strains detected.

Abstract
Pasteurella are an important cause of fatal infections in free-ranging bats, but the genetic diversity of bat-derived strains is unclear. In the current study, 81 Pasteurella strains associated with pneumonia, severe organ necroses and systemic infection in free-ranging European vespertilionid bats were characterized by biochemical and molecular typing methods. Genetic relationships and subspecies status of Pasteurella multocida strains were determined by comparative 16S rDNA and rpoB gene sequence analysis. In addition, 30 representatives of the bat-derived P. multocida strains were selected based on phenotypic and genotypic tests to be compared by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis using SmaI. Most (85%) of the Pasteurella strains obtained from free-ranging bats in this study represented P. multocida ssp. septica. P. multocida ssp. multocida and Pasteurella species B were also identified in a small number of isolates. PFGE analysis correlated well with the sequencing results and revealed a high genetic diversity among bat-derived strains of P. multocida ssp. septica. Strains sharing identical or closely related SmaI fragment patterns were cultured from bats of different species, geographic origins, and years of isolation. The presence of numerous different P. multocida strains allows the assumption that Pasteurella infections in vespertilionid bats are not solely based on intra- but also on inter-species transmission. And indeed, our results present evidence of P. multocida infections in bats following cat predation.
