Genomic profiling of Pasteurella multocida isolated from feedlot cases of bovine respiratory disease.

Pasteurella multocida causes a range of diseases in many host species throughout the world, including bovine respiratory disease (BRD) which is predominantly seen in feedlot cattle. This study assessed genetic diversity among 139 P. multocida isolates obtained from post-mortem lung swabs of BRD-affected feedlot cattle in four Australian states: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria during 2014-2019.

Antimicrobial susceptibility and genomic analysis of Histophilus somni isolated from cases of bovine respiratory disease in Autralian feedlot cattle.

Histophilus somni is a prevalent commensal organism of the upper respiratory tract of cattle and a major causative agent of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and other syndromes including myocarditis and infectious thromboembolic meningoencephalitis. This study investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility and phylogenetic relationships of H. somni isolates obtained from lung, heart, and other tissues at post-mortem as well as nasal mucosa swabs from cases of BRD in Australian feedlots (2004-2019).

Complete Genome Sequence of Pasteurella multocida Sequence Type 394, Isolated from a Case of Bovine Respiratory Disease in Australia.

Here, we present the completely closed genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida 17BRD-035, a bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogen from Queensland, Australia, with genes that confer resistance to β-lactams, tilmicosin, and tetracycline. It consists of a single 2,624,884-bp chromosome and an average GC content of 40.23% and belongs to the newly described Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) sequence type 394.

First Emergence of Resistance to Macrolides and Tetracycline Identified in and Isolates from Beef Feedlots in Australia.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) causes high morbidity and mortality in beef cattle worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring of BRD pathogens is critical to promote appropriate antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary medicine for optimal treatment and control. Here, the susceptibility of and isolates obtained from BRD clinical cases (deep lung swabs at post-mortem) among feedlots in four Australian states (2014-2019) was determined for 19 antimicrobial agents.
