Abstract excerpt
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae shows synergistic haemolysis when cocultured with Staphylococcus aureus on blood agar plates. This CAMP effect has been attributed to a discrete CAMP factor, but also to the A. pleuropneumoniae-RTX-toxins I, II, and III. We examined the CAMP effect of recombinant Escherichia coli strains that secreted each of these toxins, and of A. pleuropneumoniae mutant strains that were devoid...
