Abstract: Bovine Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) serotype A is one of the major causes of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). We used data-independent acquisition (DIA) LC-MS/MS combined with bioinformatics analysis to identify proteins secreted by P. multocida. A total of 154 proteins were obtained from the supernatants of two isolates of bovine P. multocida serotype A (high virulent PmCQ2 and low virulent PmCQ6) cultured in Martin or BHI media, of which 50 were identified as putative secreted proteins. Further studies showed that Tuf, an elongation factor Tu, was highly expressed in P. multocida and secreted into infected tissues. Tuf stimulated strong innate immune responses of macrophages and had protective efficacy against P. multocida infection in a mouse model. The results provide insight into the secreted proteins of P. multocida and suggest new targets for vaccine development against P. multocida.
