Isolation of toxigenic Pasteurella multocida from an outbreak of atrophic rhinitis in pigs.
An outbreak of severe atrophic rhinitis is described. A toxigenic strain of P. multocida was isolated from one affected pig. Severe turbinate atrophy was not associated with significantly reduced bodyweight gain in a batch of 34 pigs examined at slaughter. The history of the outbreak suggested that pigs recently introduced from overseas may have been the source of the disease.
