Comparative genome analysis of Pasteurella multocida from Australian domestic animals suggests broad patterns of transmissions across multiple hosts and origins

Abstract excerpt

The zoonotic bacterium Pasteurella multocida infects a wide range of animals worldwide. While the genetic diversity of this pathogen is well described in production animals, it remains underexplored in companion animals. In Australia, most P. multocida genomes come from commercial poultry. Here, 59 P. multocida clinical isolates obtained from Australian pets, (cats, dogs, rabbits), farm animals (birds, ruminants,...
