RESUMO

Five DNA probes directed against different regions of the gene that encodes the dermonecrotic toxin of Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida were examined for their ability to identify toxigenic P. multocida subsp. multocida strains. The specificities of the probes were studied with 96 strains of P. multocida subsp. multocida and 22 strains of 11 other bacterial species. Results of colony hybridization assays using these probes indicated that two of the five probes have potential diagnostic value.
