Important Review Flashcards
which bacteria use a type 3 secretion system
STEC/EHEC
EPEC
Salmonella
Campylobacter
Yersinia
what bacteria is the major cause of foodborne illness in humans
EHEC/STEC O157:H7
what bacteria is the most common cause of diarrhea in farm animals “scouring”
ETEC
what bacteria is associated with severe acute necrosuppurative enteritis +/- hemorrhage
Salmonella
why should salmonella be lower on the differential diagnoses for small animals
not common unless on a raw diet, stray animal or sled dog
clinical signs of S. cholerasuis
host-adapted swine
acute enterocolitis, septicemia, abortion
1 Salmonella serovar in the US for humans
S. enteriditis
what bacteria is the cause of the most common bacterial illness in the US in humans
C. jejuni
what bacteria is a risk factor for Guillen Barre Syndrome
C. jejuni
C. jejuni pathogenesis
target SI & colon
translocation of the epithelium to lamina propria
zipper and trigger mechanisms
suppurative inflammation, cytokines, IL –> bloody diarrhea & necrotizing hepatitis in sheep
who should have C.jejuni lower on their differential list
old diarrhetic animals
only animals <1 yr are more susceptible
what bacteria is associated with acute gastroenteritis and necrotic foci on other organs
Yersinia
Brachyspira pathogenesis
mucous layers of LI
causes coagulative necrosis & neutrophil influx leading to diarrhea
Brachyspira diagnostics
anaerobic culture (hard)
PCR
histopathology with silver stain
describe Brachyspira in dogs
often non-pathogenic due to CLOs
