ABSTRACT
Fowl cholera is an infectious disease that affects both poultry and wild birds, characterized by hemorrhagic and septicemic symptoms, caused by Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida), and leading to substantial economic losses in the poultry sector. The development of genetic engineering vaccines against avian P. multocida encountered early-stage challenges due to the limited availability of effective gene editing tools. Presently, NgAgoDM-enhanced homologous recombination stands as a potent technique for achieving efficient gene knockout in avian P. multocida. Hence, this study employed NgAgoDM-enhanced homologous recombination to target and knockout hyaE (239-359aa), hyaD, hexABC, and hexD, denoted as ΔhyaE (239-359aa), ΔhyaD, ΔhexABC, and ΔhexD, respectively. Additionally, we generated a hyaD recovery strain with two point mutations, designated as mhyaD. Thus, this study systematically examined the impact of capsular synthetic gene clusters on the pathogenicity of P. multocida. Moreover, the study demonstrated the critical role of hyaD activity in the virulence of avian P. multocida. This study offers novel insights for enhancing attenuated vaccines further.
