Prevalence of cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) genes in Pasteurella canis and Pasteurella multocida isolated from different hosts
| Target gene | P. canis isolates (N=30) | P. multocida isolates (N=48) | P * | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Dog/cat origin (N=17) | Human origin (N=13) | Dog/cat origin (N=32) | Human origin (N=16) | ||
| cdtA | 17/17 | 13/13 | 0/32 | 0/16 | < 0.01 |
| cdtB | 17/17 | 13/13 | 0/32 | 0/16 | < 0.01 |
| cdtC | 17/17 | 13/13 | 0/32 | 0/16 | < 0.01 |
*Fisher’s exact test (two-sided) was used to assess the difference in the prevalence of cdt according to species.
