Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The present study shows that Congo red binding and urease activity assays are useful for selection of virulent (Bvg+) Bordetella bronchiseptica cultures. METHODS AND RESULTS: Congo red binding and urease activity of Bvg+ B. bronchiseptica cultures in different liquid media were compared with the expression of virulence markers such as filamentous haemagglutinin and some outer membrane proteins (OMP).
