Turkey heterophil chemotaxis to Pasteurella multocida (serotype 3,4)-generated chemotactic factors.
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of three strains or isolates of Pasteurella multocida (serotype 3,4) to generate chemotactic factors for heterophils when exposed to pooled turkey serum. Results indicated that each bacterial strain or isolate (M-9, CU, and 86-1913) was associated with the production of chemotactic factors, but the more pathogenic bacterial isolate (86-1913) elicited greater heterophil migration in chemotaxis studies.
