Q

Explain the pathogenesis of Pasteurellaceae infections

A

NF in respiratory tract
Insult (virus or stress)
bacteria get down into lungs
cause pneumonia

Q

What can occur if different strains of Pasteurellaceae are around?

A

being that they are not part of the NF, they are in carrier animals and are considered to be “better pathogens”
