Whole-Genome Sequencing of Pasteurella multocida Strain Isolated from Bovine. Pasteurella multocida

Pasteurella multocida belongs to the Gram-negative group of bacteria and is pathogenic to many host animals, including humans. In the livestock industry, P. multocida is a pathogen that causes pneumonia in cattle, especially in calves, resulting in significant economic losses and animal welfare concerns. It is considered to be one of the causative agents of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) and is a commensal bacterium. Since there is very little information on the whole genome of P. multocida isolated from cattle in Japan, it is important to clarify this information for comparative studies. The goal of this study is to determine the complete genome sequence of P. multocida.多杀性巴氏杆菌（Pasteurella multocida）属于革兰氏阴性（Gram-negative）细菌类群，可感染包括人类在内的多种宿主动物并引发疾病。在畜牧业生产中，该菌是导致牛类（尤其是犊牛）罹患肺炎的病原菌，可造成显著的经济损失与动物福利问题。它被认定为牛呼吸道疾病综合征（bovine respiratory disease complex, BRDC）的致病病原之一，同时也是一种共生细菌。鉴于目前日本分离获得的牛源多杀性巴氏杆菌全基因组信息极为有限，明确此类菌株的全基因组数据对开展比较基因组研究具有重要价值。本研究的目标为解析多杀性巴氏杆菌的完整基因组序列。
