Relationship between serotype A encapsulation and a 40-kDa lipoprotein in Pasteurella multocida.
Eleven serotype A encapsulated and nonencapsulated strains of Pasteurella multocida were examined with regard to lipoprotein content. Relative amounts of an approximately 40-kDa lipoprotein (Plp-40) were found to correlate directly with the degree of encapsulation in that heavily encapsulated strains exhibited the greatest amounts, while nonencapsulated strains possessed little or no Plp-40.
