PQS - Pasteurelloses✅ Flashcards
Asymptomatic carriage of Pasteurella multocida can occur in birds
T
Pasteurella multocida is highly resistant: it can survive in the environment for several
months
F
Have a low resistance because the LPS cell wall is thin, BUT it can survive for a few weeks
Pasteurella multocida can cause pasteurellosis in small ruminants
T
Pasteurella multocida can infect humans
T
Primary pasteurellosis disease have no predisposing factors
F
It only means that there are no previous infection needed
Pasteurella multocida can complicate canine distemper.
T
Leukotoxin (cytotoxin) production is an important virulence factor of Mannheimia
haemolytica
T
The bacteria can produce leukotoxin, which is a cytotoxin, excreted by the bacteria and it attaches the leucocytes
The dermonecrotoxin of Pasteurella multocida damages the osteoclast cells
F
Primary pasteurellosis diseases are caused by obligate pathogenic Pasteurella bacteria
F
facultative pathogenic bacterium
Dermonecrotoxin can be virulence factor of Pasteurella multocida
T
Dermonecrotoxin = a protein tocin excreted by the bacteria, its an exotoxin
Dermonecrotoxin of pasteurella multocida causes lesions in the nasal cavity and on the skin
of pigs
F
Capsule can be virulence factor of Pasteurella multocida
T
The capsule protects the bacteria from phagocytosis
Asymptomatic carriage of Pasteurella multocida can occur in bird
T
Enterotoxins are virulence factors of Pasteurella multocida
F
The agent of acute systemic pasteurellosis is zoonotic
F
