Respiratory infection by Pasteurella multocida is uncommon and usually occurs in patients with an underlying lung disease, advanced age and/or immunodepression. In this study, we describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of a series of 14 patients in whom Pasteurella multocida was isolated from lower respiratory tract samples, over a period of 21 y (1986-2006). Differentiation between colonization and infection allows establishment of early antibiotic treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Porcine respiratory diseases significantly affect pig production, with common pathogens like Streptococcus suis and Pasteurella multocida also posing risks to human health.
- The overuse of traditional antibiotics has led to antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the need for alternative treatments such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).
- Oreochromicin-2 (Oreoch-2), an AMP from fish, showed promising results in reducing bacterial loads and improving health in pigs, making it a potential candidate for treating respiratory diseases in swine.

(1) Background: Pasteurellosis is a global zoonotic bacterial disease, which has caused significant economic impacts in animal husbandry. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding of the immune response between goat peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and goat-derived (). (2) Methods: To investigate the immune response of host PBLs during infection with type D, we established an cell model utilizing isolated primary goat PBLs.
