At necropsy of 2 pigs with CNS symptoms, you observed edema of eyelids and edema of submucosa along the greater curvature of the stomach. What is the probable etiologic agent?
Escherichia coli
Principal cause of Sylvatic plague in cats
Yersinia pestis
This Salmonella serotype is the most common serotype isolated from poultry
Salmonella Enteritidis
This agent, associated with wood product bedding, is a cause of mastitis in dairy cattle
Klebsiella pneumoniae
This Salmonella serotype, host adapted to swine, is a cause of septicemia and pneumonia often without an associated enterocolitis
Salmonella Choleraesuis
This Salmonella serotype is the cause of Typhoid fever in humans
Salmonella Typhi
This Salmonella serotype is the principal cause of Salmonella food poisoning in humans from poultry sources
Salmonella Enteritidis
This agent causes hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans
Escherichia coli O157:H7
This Salmonella serotype is the principal cause of Salmonella food poisoning in humans from mammalian sources
Salmonella Typhimurium
This Salmonella serotype, host-adapted to cattle, is the cause of abortion in cattle
Salmonella Dublin
This Salmonella is the most common serotype associated with disease in dogs in the U.S.
Salmonella Typhimurium
This agent causes a lesion in humans known as a “bubo” which is a very painful enlargement of the lymph nodes
Yersinia pestis
This Salmonella servar, host adapted to swine, is a cause of chronic necrotic enterocolitis
Salmonella Typhisuis
This agent is a CDC Category A potential bio-terrorism agent
Yersinia pestis
This Salmonella serotype, the most common serotype isolated from horses, is a cause of acute enterocolitis with high death loss
Salmonella Typhimurium
These bacterial species are known as Coliforms (name 3 from 3 different genera)
Enterobacter aerogenes,
Escherichia coli,
Klebsiella pneumoniae
The type of Escherichia coli associated with Edema Disease in swine
Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC)
This type of Escherichia coli directs the mucosal cells to form a pedestal for the E. coli to perch on
Attaching and Effacing E. coli (AEEC)
The type of Escherichia coli associated with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in humans
Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)
This type of Escherichia coli is most commonly involved in food poisoning in humans such as “Traveler’s Diarrhea”
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
The type of Escherichia coli associated with Neonatal Colibacilosis in swine
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
Porins that would expel antimicrobials from the bacterial cell
efflux pumps
Chemicals used to prevent growth or destroy potential pathogens on body surfaces
antiseptics
Term referring to the destruction of potentially pathogenic microorganisms by chemical means
Disinfection
The term for antimicrobial action in which the use of two antimicrobials increases the level of activity above the level of activity for either one alone
synergistic antimicrobials
This process refers to the transfer of genes b/w bacteria via bacterial viruses
transduction
The term in disease treatment for the drug type that inhibits bacterial multiplication but bacteria are not killed
bacteriostatic antimicrobials
The concentration of an antimicrobial that will prevent bacteria replication in vitro
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
Plasmids that carry genes coding for bacterial resistance
R-factors
The term for the modular DNA sequences encoding for antimicrobial resistance that are carried and transferred b/w integrons
gene cassettes
These are genes that are capable of transferring copies of themselves and associated genes to a new site within a replicon or to different relicons (e.g. b/w different plasmids or the chromosome)
transposons
Enzymes responsible for resistance of Gram positive bacteria to penicillins
Beta lactamases
The use of this compound by bacteria in Purine synthesis is the target of the Trimethoprim type of antimicrobials
Dihydrofolic acid
To be clinically effective, this type of antimicrobial must maintain a blood level that is greater than the MIC for duration of treatment
Time dependent antimicrobials
Term for the antibiotic effect on bacteria after the antibiotic is no longer in the system
Post antibiotic effect (PAE)
Complete destruction of all microorganisms by physical means or chemical means
sterilization
