Abstract excerpt
For the recently described serotype 15 of biotype I and serotypes 13 and 14 of biotype II of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, fhuA and hgbA were detected by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. To determine the substrate specificity of the iron receptors FhuA and HgbA and to study their role in the virulence of A. pleuropneumoniae, we used two isogenic A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 deletion mutants of...
