After definition of the macroscopic localization of the consolidated areas in the lungs, tissue samples were taken and preserved in cold chain and 10% formalin for microbiological and pathological examinations, respectively. For bacteriological examination of Pasteurella spp. lung specimens were inoculated in 7% sheep blood agar and Mc Conkey agar. After routine pathological tissue follow up procedure, tissues were embedded in paraffin and obtained sections stained with Hematoxylin&Eosin (H&E). The cases, having histopathological findings consistent with pneumonia, were forwarded to immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations to know whether lesions related to Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida using hyperimmune polyclonal rabbit sera in Avidin Biotin Complex Peroxidase (ABC-P). Microbiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were comparatively evaluated in examined animals. Pasteurella multocida as a cause of pneumonia were detected in 38 cases of microbiological inoculations. Immunohistochemical staining resulted Mannheimia haemolytica (n=35) and Pasteurella multocida (n=30) positive. Immunohistochemically both Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida were positive in 23 cases and 45 animals were negative for both bacteria. The aim of this study is to show importance and role of Pasteurella spp, in sheep pneumonia in Sanliurfa region.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPneumonic PasteurellosisPathologyMicrobiologyImmunohistochemistrySheepArticle19110310810.9775/kvfd.2012.72812-s2.0-84870941420Q3WOS:000314082300018Q4
