The effects of sub-MICs of certain antibiotics, namely, penicillin G, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, on the cell surface characteristics and the virulences of two toxigenic isolates of Pasteurella multocida representing capsular types A and D were evaluated. Expression of proteins, in particular, outer membrane proteins and iron-regulated proteins, was not affected by exposure of bacterial cells to low concentrations of antibiotics. However, exposition of surface antigens was modified by sub-MICs of the antibiotics tested. The lipopolysaccharide profile of one isolate (capsular type D) was altered by penicillin G. Sub-MICs of penicillin G and tetracycline diminished the virulence of the capsular type A isolate and adherence to porcine tracheal rings of the capsular type D isolate. Production of dermonecrotic toxin was not affected by sub-MICs of the antibiotics tested. Our results indicate that growth of P. multocida in the presence of low concentrations of antibiotics seems to have, depending on the isolate, profound effects on cell surface characteristics, with concomitant effects on adherence or virulence. Our results also indicate that production of dermonecrotic toxin, an important virulence factor of P. multocida isolates associated with porcine atrophic rhinitis, was not affected by sub-MICs of the antibiotics studied.
