4-7 Flashcards
These are groups of microorganisms that live in aquatic habitats
Aeromonas
Infections caused are common among fish and amphibians
AEROMONAS
Gram-negative
Short, plump aerobic rods
aeromonas
Grow in trypticase soy agar at 22 to 25°C
aeromonas
Stools, bile and throat of avian, cattle, swine and dogs
feces and dysenteric stool of swine and dogs
aeromonas
transmission in aeromonas
ingestion of organism
Etiologic agent of Red Syndrome
A. hydrophila
Etiologic agent of Furunculosis
A. salmincola
Lethargy, emaciation, ulceration of the skin
red syndrome (a.hydrophila)
Systemic disease with ulceration
furunculosis (a. salmincola)
Crateriform abscesses that discharge contents to the skin (furuncle)
furunculosis (a. salmincola)
Hemorrhages on the fin, tail muscles, gills and intestinal organs
furunculosis (a. salmincola)
fin rot and ulceration of the skin
aeromonas
virulence factor of aeromonas
enterotoxins
adhesins
Rimler shotts medium
aeromonas
agent identification in aeromonaz
bacterial isolation and cultivation (trypticase soy agar)
Oxytetracycline
aeromonas
how many mg/kg intake of oxytetracycline?
60-75 in 21 days
give one control and prevention in aeromonas
- obtain fish and eggs from disease free sources
- stress reduction
Human pathogens that occasionally infect domestic animals
fransicella
3 species associated with francisella
- F. tularensis
- F. philomigaria
- F. novicida
• Fresh cultures possess capsules with high lipid and amino acid content
• Older cultures show pleomorphism
fransicella
which culture in francisella possess capsules with high lipid and amino acid content
fresh culture
which culture in fransicella show pleomorphism
older culture
Fastidious aerobes that prefer to grow in glucose-cysteine-blood agar
fransicella
Survives cold temperature in water, soila and animal lesions
fransicela
Reservoir of Infection
• Rabbits • Rodents
fransicella
Transmission
• Ingestion of infected prey, feed and water
• Bites of infected blood-sucking insects
