Fowl cholera (FC) is a highly contagious bacterial disease of domestic and wild birds worldwide. It is caused by Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod shaped bacteria. There are 16 somatic serotypes of P. multocida, each with varying pathogenicity. The disease manifests as an acute septicemia or a chronic localized infection.

Fowl cholera is caused by Pasteurella multocida, an acute fatal septicemia in chickens and turkeys. P. multocida vaccines include bacterins adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide or oil emulsions, or they may contain attenuated live organisms. Multivalent Pasteurella vaccines usually contain the commonest serotypes 1, 3, and 4.
