Bacteriology Pasteruellaceae Flashcards
What are the virulence factors that allow for Pasterurellaceae can cause disease?
attachment by fimbriae or adhesions
avoidance of phagocytosis with capsules
cellular toxicity with exotoxins
local and systemic effects with endotoxins
Which gram negative bacteria do endotoxins play a greater role in?
enterobacterales
What are three negative effects exotoxins can have on a cell?
role in atrophic rhinitis
cause lung damage in pneumonia
toxic for phagocytic cells
Being that pasteruellacaea are present as normal flora how is it able to cause disease?
opportunistic infections
What host environmental factors contribute to disease development?
close quarters
poor ventilation
respiratory virus
young age
poor weather
Explain the pathogenesis of Pasteurellaceae infections
NF in respiratory tract
Insult (virus or stress)
bacteria get down into lungs
cause pneumonia
What can occur if different strains of Pasteurellaceae are around?
being that they are not part of the NF, they are in carrier animals and are considered to be “better pathogens”
What are some examples of different strains of Pasterurellacae?
P multocida capsule type A
P multocida capsule types B and E
Which animal species does P. multocida affect majorly?
production animals and companion animals
What are the.4 basic categories of disease associated with Pasturella?
pneumonia
rhinitis
bite wounds
septicemia
What is the most important disease caused by Pasteurella?
pneumonia
What disease complex is associated with Pasteruella multocida?
Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex or Shipping Fever
What does Shipping Fever cause?
severe, fibrinous, hemorrhagic, lobar pneumonia causing fibrinopurulent exudate in airways
What is a main factor that causes pneumonia from P. multocida?
transportation
What disease does P. multocida cause in rabbits?
Rhinitis - snuffles
What does snuffles cause from P. multocida?
mucopurulent with fever, nasal discharge, and respiratory distress can develop, septicemia
What is a common disease in pigs caused by P. multocida?
Atrophic Rhinitis in young pigs
Atrophic Rhinitis is a combined effect of what two bacteria?
Bordetella bronchiseptica allowing P. multocida type D to cause damage
What does B. bronchiseptica cause?
initial damage to nasal mucosa allowing P multocida to invade
