title: Production of toxin in strains previously classified as Pasteurella multocida.
abstract: 169 strains of P. multocida ssp. multocida, 24 strains of P. multocida ssp. septica, 22 strains of P. multocida ssp. gallicida, and 8 strains of P. avium and P. canis, respectively, were tested for toxin production in EBL-cell culture assay. Toxin production was only demonstrated in strains belonging to P. multocida ssp. multocida. Toxigenic strains were derived from pigs, calves, cats, dogs, rabbits and turkeys.
