what bacteria effect the GI system of cats
fungal infections
pythiosis
Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium difficle are associated with what treatment side effect?
Antibiotic induced diarrheas in horses and rabbits (lincomycin, clindamycin)
What bacteria causes enterotoxemia
Clostridium perfringens types A-E
Which serovar of salmonella infects eggs?
Salmonella enteriditis (zoonotic)
What causes Johne’s disease in ruminants
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis
What causes Potomac horse fever/Equine monocytic ehrlichiosis
Neorickettsia risticii (infects epithelial cells, marcophages, monocytes)
What type of cells do Rickettsiae bacteria target
endothelial cells
Rhodococcus equi
foal pneumonia
causes GI problems after sputum is swallowed
enterocolitis
mesenteric lymphadenitis
Neorickettsia helminthoeca
Salmon poisoning in dogs
fatal granulomatous enterocolitis in dogs and foxes
Fluke Nanophyetus salmincola infected with Neorickettsia helminthoeca
necrosis of lymphoreticular system, hemorrhagic diarrhea
for enteric diseases what sample do you use for diagnosis
fecal sample for culture (use screw top container because of fermentation)
T/F both gram + and gram - bacteria can cause liver lesions
True
characteristic donut lesions in fetal liver are caused by
Campylobacter
hepatitis in monogastric animals is caused by
Listeriosis
baciliiary hemoglobinuria is caused by
Clostridium hemolyticum
liver abscesses found in cattle along with necrotizing laryngitis
Fusobacterium necrophorum
random distribution of lesions in liver are found in what type of spread
Hematogenous spread
Urinary tract infections of dogs and cats are usually caused by
ascending infections by organisms from urogenital tracts and GI tract
G(+): Staph, Strep, Enterococcus
G(-): E. coli, Proteus, Klebsiells, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter
Fungal: candida albicans
Are UTIs less common in cats or dogs
cats
What is the preferred urine collection method for diagnosis
cystocentesis (otherwise you have to let lab know it was midstream catch or catheterization so they know there might be contamination)
What causes Lymphoplasmacytic tubulointerstitial nephritis
Leptospirosis (serum will indicate renal failure)
Systemic infection affecting kidneys
Actinobacillus equuli
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
Pyelonephritis in adult cows is caused by
Corynebacterium renale
White spotted kidney caused by
E. coli
Pulpy kidney disease caused by
(Sheep) Clostridium perfringens type D in enterotoxemia
mycobacterium sp. causes
granulomatous nephritis
porcine pyelonephritis caused by
Actinobaculum suis
What are good diagnostic samples to take when looking at abortion bacteria
placenta, fetal and dam serum, fetal organs, fetal abomasal fluid (good for culture)
What are some of the most common bacteria that cause abortion
Brucella
Campylobacter
Ureaplasma
Taylorella equigenitalis
Canine brucellosis
B. canis, B. suis
can be very chronic
abortion, conception failure, orchitis, scrotal dermatitis**
Lymphadenomegaly, discospondylitis, osteomyelitis
Zoonotic!
Treatment of canine brucellosis
long antibiotic therapy (weeks) tetracycline, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones
spay/neuter lowers transmission risk
in kennels only way to eradicate is eliminate all positives
Is Brucella canis or Brucella suis more virulent?
Brucella suis (reportable)-highest virulence B. canis- low asymptomatic disease, fever, chills, wt loss, lymphadenomegaly
