title: [Pasteurella multocida (type D and A) and atrophic rhinitis of swine--hemagglutination, fimbriae and adhesion in vitro in the nasal mucosa of swine fetuses].
abstract: 79 strains of P. multocida were investigated, mostly isolated from porcine nasal cavities, and a mannose-resistant hemagglutination with guinea pig and human group 0, but not with porcine erythrocytes was found. Fimbriae as adhesins were demonstrated only on 2 strains. A correlation between capsular type, hemagglutination, fimbriation and toxigenicity on the examined P. multocida strains was not observed. Three strains were investigated for the adherence to the nasal mucosa of neonatal pigs; aggregates shown by scanning electron microscopy indicate colonization; a correlation of adherence with surface proteins and slime production of P. multocida is discussed.
