6/11 Flashcards
psuedemonas and mastitis
can cause mortality
pseudomonas aeruginosa in reptiles
necrotic stomatits. pneumonia, septicemia
secondary to poor housing
parrots and parrakeets pseudomonas aeruginosa
2ndary
eye
airway- pneumonia
origin drinking water (biofilm formation)
pseudomonas aeruginosa galliformes
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
pseudomonas aeruginosa treatment
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)
Phage therapy
burn wound victims
local application strain specific
pseudomonas spp in cold blooded animals
fish: skin ulcer and septicemia
first thing: change water, clean environment, eliminate biofilm
Burkholderia
gram - aerobic rods catalase positive previous had other names- taxonomical problems environmental lung inf
Burkholderia pathogenic species
b. mallei
b. pseudomallei
b. cepacia
Burkholderia mallei
glanders BSL3 agent used in WWI- biological warfare primarily EQUINE pathogen (also feline dog human) HAS TO BE DECLARED now mainly in asia and s. america Horses travel!
Burkholderia mallei symtoms
nodules and ulcers , pyogranulomatous
orchitis
skin of resp tract
great variability in severity
ACUTE: fetal! fever nasal discharge, lyphadenitis
CHRONIC: you should not see- should be declared in chronic form. fever and respiratory skin abcesses
ZOONOTIC
Burkholderia mallei virulence
capsule - allows to survive in the environement
LPS
Burkholderia mallei transmission
ingestion inhalation wounds
many portals of entry
inhalation– high chance ofcontact
Burkholderia mallei pathogenesis
pharynx, wound
spread via lymphatic (nodules) or blood (lung liver spleen)
Burkholderia mallei pathology
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
Burkholderia mallei typical symptom
NASAL DISCHARGE
