Q

pseudomonas aeruginosa galliformes

A

water supply
localized in oviduct of turkeys if they dont die
contamination of eggs
pseudomonas enter eggs and make them explode via H2S gas production
neonatal mortality
complication of viral infection especially when the viral inf is treated with antibiotics

Q

pseudomonas aeruginosa treatment

A

take away the cause
use antibiotics consider conditions and animal species.
consider culling (dairy cow)
careful with Blactams
use anti pseudomonas (cefoperazone)
most of the animals die (except with otitis externa)

Q

Burkholderia mallei pathology

A

nodular lesions composed of neutrophils fibrin and RBC
evolve when become more chronic
essential necrotic part
tx is difficult, AB do not penetrate the nodules easily surrounded by epithelial capsule

17
Q

Burkholderia mallei DX

A

isolation and ID
Serology- difficult
false positives (environmental, lots of epitopes)
complement fixation
intradermal test (mallein test) look for type 4 hypersensitivity (more sensitivity)

18
Q

Burkholderia mallei PX

A

NO VACCINES
Cull infected animals
avoid contact with endemic areas

19
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei

A
MELIODOSIS
re portable dz
saprophyte- in water rich environments
frequent inf after flooding swampy terrain
rice paddies
lives with environmental ameoba
wide host range
sheep goat rodent(reservoir)
tropical subtropical
20
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei transmission

A

ingestion wound infection airbourne arthropod bite wound

21
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei virulence

A

adhesins
capsule
T3SS and T4SS

22
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei horses

A

mimics glanders: pseudoglanders

23
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei in cattle

A

acute to chronic…. lungs joint uterus

24
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei goats

A

more chronic dz

25
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei swine

A

backyard swine, tropical

26
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei DX

A
environmental
 BSL3
purulent content swab
cultivation on blood mcconkey agar
CFT test
27
Q

Burkholderia psuedomallei prevention/ therapy

A

no vaccination
difficult to prevent water and soil contact
antimicrobials
most often end up culling

28
Q

Burkholderia mallei

A
should not see (reportable)
be careful with traveling horses to endemic areas
false positives do exist 
confused with pseudomallei
difficult to contain
29
Q

gram negative
small
pleomorphic
nonmotile
contagious
obligate aerobic
facultative intracellular (hide in body, carriers) 
 very fastidious growth
32

Francisella tularensis requires to culture?

A

SPECIFIC rich media chocolate agar thayer Martin agar

w/ supplement

33
Q

Francisella tularensis

A
REPORTABLE
highly contagious 
prairie dogs from the US
wide rAange of animals
logomorphs- reservoir
34
Q

Francisella tularensis transmission

A

tick mosquitoes flies
contaminated waters
ingestion and infected prey
humans contact with wild life, inhalation (hunters)

35
Q

Francisella tularensis virulence

A

capsue
