The morning after they arrive, you are called to check on Patsy who appears to be lethargic and has mucopurulent nasal discharge. Based on the history you make a diagnosis of “shipping fever.” Which 3 of the following organisms top your list as the potential bacterial causes?
Pasteurella multocida
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Capnocytophaga canimorsus
Mannheimia haemolytica
Actinobacillus lignieresii
Histophilus somni
Haemophilus influenzae
Pasteurella multocida
Mannheimia haemolytica
Histophilus somni
You administer a dose of gamithromycin which is a macrolide antibiotic labelled for shipping fever (specifically Pastuerella multocida, Histophilus somni and Mannhemia haemolytica).
What is the mechanism of action of gamithromycin?
Protein synthesis inhibition
When you explain the potential outcomes and prognoses to the owner you make sure to mention the worst outcome of Histophilus somni infection which is ____________(use full term).
Thromboembolic meningoencephalitis,
Infectious thromboembolic meningoencephalitis
The next morning it is obvious that Patsy is feeling better but now Mandy is squinting in both of her eyes. She has bilateral conjunctivitis (“Pink eye”) and you suspect the most likely pathogen is ___
Moraxella bovis
Just to top it all off- Hilda appears to be dropping feed. You examine her mouth and find that she had a large bony protrusion in her lower left mandible. You are Hilda may have an infection with which of the following?
Actinomyces bovis
Actinobacillus lignierensii
Actinomyces bovis
ou noted in your exam of “ReBuck McEntire” that the left inguinal lymph node was abscessed. You suspect “CL.” What is the pathogen that causes this disease in goats?
Spelling counts!
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
You contact the pathologist to run a culture for Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis on any lesions from “Billy Eilish”. In response, the pathologist sends you the following image in an email and states following Gram stain of the necropurulent foci in the liver “I saw Gram positive bacilli but rest assured they were non-sporulated.”
What organism, that causes acute death in ruminants, is the pathologist ruling out with this statement?
Spelling counts!
Bacillus anthracis
The culture for Billy Eilish comes back as positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The pathologist explains that occasionally listeriosis in small ruminants can cause a fatal septicemia that presents without the classic ________ clinical signs.
Neurologic
Respiratory
Dermatologic
Musculoskeletal
You are concerned to find out the goat was diagnosed with since these goats routinely interact with the public during the yoga sessions. Describe a few concerns you have to Karen below (graded on completion).
listeria is zoonotic
listeria can grow at temperatures 0-42.
can survive at low pH and high NaCl
can cause meningitis, bacteremia, and abortion
You explain to Karen that she should no longer let her goats participate in her Yoga classes as Listeria is zoonotic and that you are going to contact public health so they can give advice to susceptible people (especially pregnant women).
You also confirmed that Reba does in fact have caseous lymphadenitis secondary to C. pseudotuberculosis. You advise Karen that it is likely that many of the goats are infected and infection is often lifelong.
Which of the following would be most effective in control of C. pseudotuberculosis?
Treatment with antibiotics
Surgical excision of affected lymph nodes
Isolation of new or young animals away from affected animals
Isolation of new or young animals away from affected animals
A punch biopsy of the digit was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed dermal and subcutaneous coalescing nodular aggregates of granulomatous inflammation including neutrophils, epithelioid macrophages and multinucleated giant cells centered around large black-brown pigmented granular bodies. (Figure 2A, B) The Gram stain highlighted colonies of gram positive filamentous rods (Figure 2C).
Based on the Gram stain results you believe the most likely agents of the infection are either Actinomyces or Nocardia. Which of the following culture methodologies should you request from the microbiology lab?
Fungal Culture
Mycobacterial culture
Aerobic bacterial culture
Anaerobic bacterial culture
Aerobic bacterial culture
Anaerobic bacterial culture
You also ask the pathologist to perform an acid fast stain. Which of the following genera will stain positive or partially acid-fast?
Erysipelothrix
Corynebacterium
Listeria
Streptococcus
Mycoplasma
Staphylococcus
Bacillus
Nocardia
Actinomyces
Mycobacterium
acid fast +
mycobacterium
nocardia
rhodocococcus
Seven days later the microbiology lab identified an organism called Amycolatopsis spp. growing from the lesion. Gram stain is consistent with the organism found upon histopathology. This is likely an environmental organism (“saprophyte”) causing a rare infection in an immunocompromised host. Amycolatopsis in veterinary medicine has also been associated with metritis in mares. Which of the following organisms is a common agent of equine metritis?
R. equi
S. equi subsp. equi
S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
Strep. equi subsp. zooepidemicus
There is limited treatment options based on human and equine case reports in the literature. It seems like the best options would be doxycycline (which has already failed in this patient) and TMS. You are concerned about the side effects of long term administration of TMS which include which of the following?
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Enamel hypoplasia
Retinal degeneration
Immune-mediated blood disorders (example ITP).
Cartilage defects
Neurologic side effects
Esophageal strictures
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Immune-mediated blood disorders (example ITP).
which one is Escherichia
which one in enterococcus
Escherichia → B
enterococcus → A
You open it up and notice that there is a pig ear treat unwrapped in the bag.
AHA!
What genus of bacterial pathogen is commonly associated with pig ear dog treats?
Salmonella
You have learned your lesson about assuming and you call the lab and ask to “STAT” the Salmonella PCR based on your suspicions. The microbiologist assures you that you will have results in a couple of hours. You begin to make your therapy plan for the animals based on the assumed diagnosis of salmonellosis and you plan on prescribing:
Metronidazole
No antibiotics
Enrofloxacin
TMS
Amoxicillin
No antibiotics
Why might this dog have tested negative for the salmonella but still have clinical signs?
intermittent shedding
You receive the final results of the panel on the dog that did not eat the pig ear. The only positive on their panel was for the stx1 gene.
Which pathogen is likely in the feces of this dog and its associated source?
Staphylococcus aureus…….. Food contaminated by human handling
Escherchia coli O157:H7….. raw/undercooked beef product
Listeria monocytogenes….uncooked hotdogs or other ready-to-eat meats
Campylobacter jejuni……. raw/undercooked poultry product
Yersinia enterocolitica…… raw/undercooked pork product
Escherchia coli O157:H7….. raw/undercooked beef product
