Water buffalo are of enormous economic significance in the dairy economy of north India, however, they are highly susceptible to bacterial respiratory diseases including haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) caused by Pasteurella multocida. An outbreak of HS caused by Pasteurella multocida sub spp. multocida occurred in 3 buffalo calves of a discrete population kept in an organized farm. The peracute episode of disease resulted in early death and samples from animals and post-mortem samples yielded typical bi-polar staining Gram-negative bacilli. The isolations were made from nasal swabs and intestinal contents. T hree isolates of Pasteurella multocida was isolated in pure culture from 2 calves, and the diagnosis was based on clinical signs, biochemical and phenotypic characterization and PCR confirmation performed on the cultures. The calves were diagnosed with HS due to infection with P. multocida capsular type B:2 strain. The cultures were subjected to antimicrobial sensitivity profile, and were found to be generally susceptible except showing resistance to flouroquinolones. The importance of diagnosis, reporting and isolation, preservation and genetic characterization of isolates with geographical information is discussed.
