PM
Pasteurella multocida
Fowl cholera, caused by Pasteurella multocida (PM) infection, is a commonly occurring disease of birds. In
the acute form, its usual symptom is a septicemia with associated high morbidity and mortality. Chronic localized
infections can also occur, either following an acute exposure or resulting in infection with an organism of low virulence.
Clinical signs of acute infections are typical of bacterial septicemia, whereas the signs of chronic disease are
typically related to the anatomic location of the infection. An assessment of immune status, as well as serologic
identification of PM, requires a measurement of antibody in serum. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) have
proven efficacious in the quantification of antibody levels to other diseases, and facilitate the monitoring of immune
status in large flocks.
