BACKGROUND: Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative coccobacillus and is the causative agent of fowl cholera in avian species. P. multocida expresses two large filamentous hemagglutinin (FhaB) proteins encoded by fhaB1 and fhaB2 genes. Previously, it was demonstrated that P. multocida FhaB2 is an important virulence factor in the development of fowl cholera disease. In the current study, we examined the potential role of FhaB1 in fowl cholera disease development. An fhaB1 deletion mutant, devoid of foreign DNA, was constructed using a temperature sensitive plasmid in a well-characterized P. multocida avian strain P-1059 (A:3).
RESULTS: Real-time PCR assay confirmed the expression of full-length fhaB1 mRNA in the wild-type parent strain and truncated fhaB1 mRNA in the ΔfhaB1 mutant strain. Both parent and the mutant strain produced biofilm; however, the ΔfhaB1 mutant produced significantly lower amounts of biofilm. Turkey poults were challenged intranasally and intramuscularly to assess the virulence of the fhaB1 mutant and the wild-type parent strains. Contrary to our expectation, inactivation of fhaB1 did not reduce virulence by either challenge route.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that this large and highly conserved FhaB1 protein is not necessary for the development of acute fowl cholera disease in turkeys.
