Transcriptomic analysis identifies key genes and functional pathways related with pasteurella multocida infection

a total of eight clinically healthy 3 month-olds male of Jianzhou Da'er kids (Capra hircus) with the similar weight were raised on a usual farm with age-appropriate temperature, humidity levels, and a standard control diet, and then randomly distributed into two groups: (1) an uninfected control group (CK) and (2) an infected group challenged with P. multocida strains provided by College of Life Science and Technology, Southwest Minzu University (Chengdu, Sichuan, China).

本研究共计选取8只临床健康、体重相近的3月龄雄性简州大耳羔羊（Capra hircus，家山羊），于常规农场中饲养，饲养环境的温度、湿度适配其日龄需求，日粮采用标准对照日粮；随后将受试羊随机分为两组：(1) 未感染对照组（CK）；(2) 感染组，其攻毒所用多杀性巴氏杆菌（P. multocida）菌株由中国四川省成都市西南民族大学（Southwest Minzu University）生命科学与技术学院提供。
