Avian oviductal secretions contain an exoATPase which has been purified up to 900-fold. Antibodies to this fraction bind to several cell types and to membrane fractions solubilized by selected detergents. The experiments indicate that a related antigen is present in plasma membranes and that exoATPase is released by a shedding process.
Pasteurella multocida causes hemorrhagic septicemia in many domestic and wild animals. The most common human infection with P multocida is a local cellulitis following animal-inflicted wounds, preponderantly cat bites and scractches. The typical clinical manifestations and complications have been well described previously. We present three cases of pulmonary pasteurellosis that were recently evaluated by the infectious diseases service at Barnes Hospital. In three additional cases, the technologists in the microbiology laboratory isolated P multocida from respiratory tract secretions.
