Abstract. Pulsed field conditions specific for Pasteurella multocida B:2 have been optimised to obtain a good separation resolution. Restriction enzyme, NotI, was the most suitable as it generates discernible number of bands. Other optimised electrophoretic conditions were: 1.5% agarose gel concentration, 200 V, ramped pulsed time of 1-25 s and a run time of 26 h. This research is important for fast and accurate characterisation of this bacterial strain following an outbreak in Malaysia.
