Abstract

A total of 608 bacterial isolates previously identified as Pasteurella haemolytica biotypes A and 3, P. trehalosi, and P. multocida, were separated into 73 distinct biovariants using 21 phenotypic characteristics. The largest group (54%) of wildlife isolates was identified as biogroup 2 and biogroup 2 variants. Biogroup 2 and biogroup 2 variants accounted for only 17% of isolates from domestic ruminants and were all from sheep. In contrast, 43% of isolates from domestic ruminants were identified as biogroup 1 and biogroup 1 variants, whereas only 6% of isolates from wildlife were identified in these groups. The majority of biogroup 1 isolates from wild ruminants were from 1 group of bighorn sheep in Arizona that were geographically separated from other wildlife sampled. Similarly, 1 biogroup 2 variant, 2E, was cultured only from free-ranging Dall sheep in Alaska. Twelve percent of domestic isolates and 6% of wildlife isolates were indole positive. The remaining isolates from wildlife (33%) and domestic animals (30%) were distributed among 53 distinct biovariants. None of these individual biovariants represented >4% of the total isolates. Phenotypic characterization was valuable for distinguishing between isolates from different hosts and from different geographic areas and can be used to assist in epidemiologic studies.
