Article Synopsis
- The complete genome sequences of two Pasteurella multocida strains, P504190 and P504188/1, were obtained from infected lungs of a sow and her piglet.
- Both strains exhibited an uncommon clinical presentation but were identified as capsular type D and part of lipopolysaccharide group 6.
- These specific capsular and LPS types are typically associated with infections in pigs.
Isolation of the human-associated -harbouring ST307 from a tortoise in the UK.

The ST307 multidrug-resistant CTX-M-15-producing is an emerging pathogen, which has become disseminated worldwide in humans but is rarely reported from other reservoirs. We report the first isolation of from an animal in Europe and also from a reptile, a captive tortoise, whose death it probably caused. Detection of this clone from an animal adds to evidence of niche expansion in non-human environments, where it may amplify, recycle and become of greater public health concern.
