Fowl cholera is an infectious disease caused by Pasteurella multocida that contributes to high economic loss in the commercial chicken industry. Three Pasteurella multocida strains were isolated from outbreaks of acute fowl cholera in the Korean layer farms from 2018 to 2019. One strain was identified and serotyped using capsular PCR typing. This strain was also genotyped by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) PCR typing as A: L3, whereas other strains were non-typable. The multilocus sequence typing (MLST) result showed that the A: L3 strain is sequence type (ST) 134; the non-typable strains were recorded as the following new STs: ST 366 and ST 374. Using phylogenetic tree analysis based on MLST sequences, we determined that ST 366 and ST 374 are closely related to the reference strains that were previously isolated from duck and chicken in Korea, and they were highly prevalent within the Korean cluster. In conclusion, Pasteurella multocida strains were identified and isolated in this study. Furthermore, this is the first report of using MLST to determine the prevalence of fowl cholera in Korea.

Fowl cholera is a contagious acute and chronic disease caused by Pasteurella multocida in both domesticated and wild birds. Acute fowl cholera in both chickens and wild birds has recently been documented in Korea, but the chronic form has not been reported in Korea until now. This study describes the first outbreak of chronic fowl cholera in 13-week-old Arbor Acre broiler breeder chickens submitted to the College of Veterinary Medicine, Kyungpook National University in April 2006. The clinical signs of the affected flock of 9,621 chickens were lameness caused by swollen hock joints, diarrhea, ruffled feathers, and an average weekly mortality of 1.0%. At necropsy, purulent or caseous exudates were found in the hock and wing joints, humerus, and eyes, and severe pneumonia and pericarditis were discovered. Eleven bacterial isolates obtained from the liver, joint, infraorbital sinus and sternal bursa of the submitted chickens were all identified as Pasteurella multocida based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics. Five isolates were examined for antimicrobial susceptibility against 21 different antimicrobial agents including ampicillin. All were resistant to kanamycin, neomycin, and streptomycin, and some were resistant to gentamicin. The tested isolates were all susceptible to the other 17 antimicrobial agents. All 11 isolates were capsular serogroup A based on multiplex polymerase chain reaction. In addition, two of five isolates used in the antimicrobial susceptibility test were identified as somatic serotype 1 by an agar gel diffusion precipitin test, while the others were non-typable.

닭의 급성(急性) 가금(家禽) 콜레라의 폐사원인(斃死原因)과 기전(機轉)을 구명(究明)하고자 생후(生後) 10~32주령(週齡) 닭에 P. multocida균(菌)을 칠개(七個) 경로(經路)(정맥(靜脈), 근육(筋肉), 피하(皮下), 비강(鼻腔), 구강(口腔), 복강(腹腔) 및 귀)를 통해 주입(注入)해서 가금(家禽) 콜레라를 발병(發病)시키고 파종성(播種性) 혈관내(血管內) 응고(凝固)의 발현여부(發顯與否)와 그 분포(分布) 및 본(本) 질병(疾病) 진행(進行) 과정중(過程中) P. multocida의 endotoxin 역할(役割)에 대하여 연구(硏究)하였다. 파종성(播種性) 혈관내(血管內) 응고(凝固)의 병리조직학적(病理組織學的)인 진단(診斷)은 소동맥(小動脈), 소정맥(小靜脈), 모세혈관(毛細血管) 그리고 다소 큰 혈관내(血管內)에 섬유소성(纖維素性) 혈전(血栓)의 증명(證明)으로 이루어졌다. 각종(各種) 장기내(臟器內) 파종성(播種性) 혈관내(血管內) 응고(凝固)는 주(主)로 3일(日) 이내(以內)에 폐사(斃死)된 닭에서 쉽게 관찰(觀察)할 수 있었고, 장기중(臟器中) 폐(肺)는 혈전(血栓)의 발현빈도(發顯頻度)가 가장 높았으며(90%) 그 다음으로 간(肝)(70%), 신장(腎臟)(60%), 심장(心臟)(20%), 비장(脾臟), 뇌(腦), 췌장(膵臟), 흉선(胸線) 및 갑상선(甲狀腺)의 순(順)이었다. 섬유소성(纖維素性) 혈전(血栓)의 밀도(密度)(조직절편당(組織切片當) 혈전(血栓)의 수(數)) 역시 폐(肺)가 가장 높고 비장(脾臟), 신장(腎臟), 간(肝) 및 심장(心臟)의 순(順)이었다. 급성(急性) 가금(家禽) 콜레라 감염시(感染時) 범발성(汎發性) 출혈(出血)은 파종성(播種性) 혈관내(血管內) 응고(凝固)를 일으키는 P. multocida균(菌)의 endotoxin에 기인(基因)된 것으로 사료(思料)되며 닭의 급성(急性) 가금(家禽) 콜레라의 폐사원인(斃死原因)은 단순(單純)한 출혈성(出血性) 패혈증(敗血症)이 아니라 전신적(全身的)으로 발생(發生)되는 파종성(播種性) 혈관내(血管內) 응고(凝固)를 수반하는 endotoxin(septic) shock사(死)임이 밝혀졌다.
