A. F5
B.F41
C.F4
D. STa
C. F4- found only in pigs

Heat Labile Toxin- pig ETEC E.Coli
LT
affects neonatal and weaning age pigs
Heat stable toxins- pig ETEC E.Coli
STa, STb, EAST1
- STa and STb are found in neonatal ETEC and neonatal up to 4 week old pigs
- EAST1- found in neonatal (less than 4 weeks) and weaning diarrhea
What is the adhesion factor found in porcine VTEC E.Coli and what toxin is it associated with?
F18, VT2e
What intimin gene is found in porcine EPEC E.Coli?
eae
This virulence factor found in porcine EPEC E.Coli acts as a needle, and injects effector protein
T3SS
T/F- types of E.Coli can lead to UTI in pigs?
yes- cull because of fertility problems
A farmer calls you out to his farm and you discover a day old calf with watery diarrhea and pale mucosal membranes, you suspect E.Coli- which subspecies are you concerned about?
ETEC
What is the most common fimbriae in bovine ETEC E.Coli subspecies?
F5
This is the only zoonotic subspecies of bovine E.Coli that we were presented
EHEC
What are the extra-intestinal forms of E.Coli?
ExPEC/NTEC- CNS symptoms APEC- respiratory symptoms
MMA, UTI
What is considered to be (at least by Dr. Butaye) the most important bacterial disease in broilers and layers? What are the serotypes?
APEC E.Coli

41
How many flagella antigens does E.Coli have?
11
What is the non-typhoid serotype of bovine and porcine Salmonella enterica?
S.typhimurium
remember that non-typhoid means non-host specific and therefore zoonotic
What are the main clinical signs of S. typhimurium in cattle?
diarrhea and abortion
What is the host adapted serotype of bovine S. enterica?
S. dublin
What causes typhoid in pigs?
S.Choleraesuis
This is the rare typhoid version of equine Salmonella
S. abortus equi
Which is the most frequent form of non-host specific horse Salmonella?
acute
What percent of dogs and cats are carriers of non-host specific Salmonella?
dogs: 0-36%
cats: 0-20%
The serotype of Salmonella that gives pigeons paratyphus?
S. Typhimurium var Copenhagen
In this form of paratyphus, the pigeon will be unable to fly
chronic paratyphus
This non-typhoid form of Salmonella will effect psittaciformes and passeriformes, it is mainly found in birdhouses
S. typhimurium
Which forms of salmonella in poultry are reportable?
S.pullorum, S.gallinarum
