title: Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 and Pasteurella trehalosi serotype 10 culture supernatants contain fibrinogen-binding proteins.
abstract: Fibrinogen-binding proteins were found in the culture supernatants of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 (ATCC 43270) and Pasteurella trehalosi serotype 10 (ECO-100). Sheep fibrinogen was biotinylated and shown to bind to proteins in the culture supernatants by modified western blot. Fibrinogen-binding proteins in the culture supernatant may be important virulence factors leading to the characteristic fibrinous pneumonia caused by these organisms and may be critical antigenic targets for immune prophylaxis.
