Abstract excerpt
Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica serotype1 produces a variety of virulence factors that play an important role during the pathogenesis of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. Among these, a leukotoxin (LKT) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are thought to be the primary virulence factors that contribute to the characteristic pathology of pasteurellosis. Recent evidence suggests that M. haemolytica LKT binding to...
