Several cases dealing with Pasteurella multocida infection have been documented in raptors. However, the isolates have not been fully characterized nor has the prevalence of P. multocida in raptors been determined. Three hundred ninety-eight raptors were cultured for P. multocida. Results indicated that P. multocida was not normally carried in the pharyngeal, choanal, or cloacal regions. However, P. multocida was isolated from raptors with avian cholera. Isolates from eight cases were characterized by biotype, somatic serotype, and antibiogram. Most (six of eight) of the P. multocida isolates belonged to somatic serotype 1. The remaining two P. multocida isolates belonged to somatic serotypes 3 and 3,4. The majority of the isolates belonged to the subspecies multocida. All isolates were susceptible to penicillin G, sulfisoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Various restriction site heterogeneities of P. multocida chromosomal DNA were found among the raptor isolates. Results indicated that isolates of P. multocida somatic serotype 1 from diurnal raptors were genetically related.
猛禽中已记录了几例多杀巴斯德菌感染病例。然而，分离株尚未得到充分鉴定，猛禽中多杀巴斯德菌的流行情况也未确定。对398只猛禽进行了多杀巴斯德菌培养。结果表明，多杀巴斯德菌通常不在咽部、后鼻孔或泄殖腔区域携带。然而，从患有禽霍乱的猛禽中分离出了多杀巴斯德菌。对8例病例的分离株进行了生物型、菌体血清型和抗菌谱鉴定。大多数（8例中的6例）多杀巴斯德菌分离株属于菌体血清型1。其余2株多杀巴斯德菌分离株属于菌体血清型3和3,4。大多数分离株属于多杀亚种。所有分离株对青霉素G、磺胺异恶唑、四环素和甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑敏感。在猛禽分离株中发现了多杀巴斯德菌染色体DNA的各种限制性位点异质性。结果表明，来自昼行性猛禽的多杀巴斯德菌菌体血清型1分离株具有遗传相关性。
