Abstract
Eleven serotype A encapsulated and nonencapsulated strains of Pasteure lla multocida were examined with regard to lipoprotein content. Relati ve amounts of an approximately 40-kDa lipoprotein (Plp-40) were found to correlate directly with the degree of encapsulation in that heavily encapsulated strains exhibited the greatest amounts, while nonencapsu lated strains possessed little or no Plp-40.
