Abstract

One hundred and fifty-eight porcine strains of , recovered primarily from cases of pneumonic pasteurellosis or progressive atrophic rhinitis (PAR) in England and Wales, were characterized by determination of their capsular types, presence or absence of the gene and molecular mass heterogeneity of the heat-modifiable (OmpA) and porin (OmpH) proteins. Eighteen groups (clones) of strains were identified on the basis of specific combinations of capsular type, status and outer-membrane protein (OMP)-type. The data provided evidence that different subpopulations of are responsible for pneumonia and PAR in pigs. The majority (88 %) of cases of pneumonia were associated exclusively with non-toxigenic capsular type A strains of OMP-types 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 and 5.1 and capsular type D isolates of OMP-type 6.1. These strains were recovered from widespread geographical locations within England and Wales over a 12-year period and represented mostly single sporadic cases. The association of a small number of variants with the majority of cases of porcine pneumonia suggests that these strains are not opportunistic pathogens of low virulence but represent primary pathogens with a relatively high degree of virulence. In contrast, the majority (76 %) of cases of PAR were associated with -containing capsular type D strains of OMP-type 4.1 and capsular type A and D strains of OMP-type 6.1. Toxigenic capsular type A strains associated with PAR and non-toxigenic capsular type A strains associated with pneumonia represent distinct subpopulations of that can be differentiated by their OMP-types. The association of capsular types A and D with strains of the same OMP-types, and the absence and presence of the gene in strains of the same OMP-types, suggest that horizontal transfer of capsular biosynthesis and genes has occurred between strains representing certain subpopulations of .
