Molecular and Phenotypical Characterization of <i>Mannheimia haemolytica</i> Isolated from Goats in Baghdad Province

Abstract: Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica) is a gram negative bacterium which can infect humans and animals. It's commensal as a normal flora of the nasopharynx and tonsils in cattle, sheep and goats, pneumonic pasteurellosis is one of the most economically important infectious disease in goats worldwide prevalence. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of M. haemolytica by bacteriological and molecular characterization in goats. One hundred nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from apparently healthy fiel… Show more

“…Finding of this study is in agreement with [35] who found results of one hundred nasopharyngeal swabs of apparently healthy eld goats (0.00%) were negative for M. haemolytica and stated that seasonal variation is one factor for the agent, in Baghdad, Iraq. Predisposing factors such as stress in the region's current climatic conditions and changing weather patterns may have led to stress formation in the form of natural incidences of pneumonic pasteurollosis caused by M.haemolytica [42].…”

“…The isolate of M.haemolytica was found to be Gram-negative, coccobacilli, non-motile, bipolar, non-sporeforming, catalase and oxidase positive. These ndings were consistent with [35]. Biochemically isolates fermented mannitol, arabinose and glucose while negative for indole, citrate, urease, and, trehalose this nding in line with observations of (Legesse et al, 2018).…”

“…Other authors have also obtained nonhemolytic M. haemolytica isolates and confirmed them using molecular methods (YENER et al, 2009;MAHU et al, 2015). High sensitivity and specificity of the test were observed in hemolytic as well as non-hemolytic isolates, which makes the molecular test indispensable and recommended for definitive diagnosis of M. haemolytica pneumonia (RAHAL et al, 2014;AHMED et al, 2017).…”

“…The disease can cause high economic losses due to treatment costs, slowdown in weight gain, condemnation of carcasses, and a decrease of meat and milk production (EMIKPE et al, 2010;PONNUSAMY et al, 2017). Diagnosis is based on clinical history, clinical signs, gross and histopathological findings, associated with bacteria isolation, and confirmation by molecular techniques (AHMED et al, 2017;EKONG et al, 2015;PONNUSAMY et al, 2017;RICE et al, 2008).…”
