Abstract: According to OmpA gene of Pasteurella multocida published in GenBank, a pair of primers was designed. OmpA genes were amplified from 11 avian Pasteurella multocida strains and 3 capsular-type reference strains (A, B, D)
and then cloned into pMD18-T vector and sequenced. The results showed that the ORFs of OmpA gene were between 1 047 bp to 1 077 bp. The predicted maturation protein composed of 327-332 amino-acid besides 21 amino-acid signal peptide. The relative molecular weight of the maturation protein was between 35.19 to 36.36 kD. The alignment results showed that the nucleotide sequence homologies were 85.3%-100% and the deduced amino acid homologies were 83.1%-100% in comparison with 12 reference OmpA sequences of Pasteurella multocida published in GenBank. The homologies of 6 avain Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from China OmpA sequences were 100%. The result revealed that the OmpA gene of avain Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from China is very conservative.
