DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF Pasteurella multocida SEROTYPE A:1 WHOLE CELL BASED COAGGLUTINATION TEST (CAT) FOR THE RAPID DETECTION OF FOWL CHOLERA CAUSING ORGANISMS
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
Pasteurella multocida whole cell antigen based coagglutination test was optimized in the laboratory for the specific and sensitive identification of bacteria causing fowl cholera in a simple and cost effective manner. The test showed 100% specificity and sensitivity up to 3.4 ×106 formalinized bacterial cells. For testing stability, sensitized coagglutination test reagents were stored at 40C for 1-4 months was subjected to reactions with inactivated P. multocida type A:1, A:3 and A:4 and non Pasteurella cultures at the end of each month. The optimized test also detected P. multocida type A:1, A:4 in experimentally infected birds (n=10) indicating the potential application of the reagent to detect all possible somatic types of A capsular type which are etiological agents of Fowl cholera. P.multocida type B:2 experimentally infected mice (n=4) tissues also showed coagglutination with the reagent exemplify its wider applicability in field diagnosis.
