Respiratory tract infections III Flashcards
histophilus sombi part of what viral fam
pasturellacea
histophilus somni features

- facultative anaerobe
- bacillus
histophilus somni commensal
- normal inhabitant of resp tract
histophilus somni -> ?
bronchopneumonia bc stress
hitophilus somni often associated with what
mannhaeimi haemolytica infections in cattle, this = part of bovine resp dx complex
rhodococcus equi general features
- gram pos
- variably acid fast
- strict aerob
- coccus or bacillus (cocci in lab usually)
rhodococcus equi normal inhabitant of what
soil and animal manure
rhodococcus equi spread
- inhalation
- direct contact
rhodococcus equi -> what
-pyogramulomatous bronchopneumonia of foals 1-6 months
rhodococcus equi signs

- accesses in lungs and bronchial lns
- resp signs
rhodococus equi case fatialty risk
50%
rhodococcus equi affects who
- foals 1-6 months
- occasionally pigs
- ruminants
- ZOONOTIC
rhodococcus equi pathogenesis
- inhaled from contaminated soil
- opsonized by compliment and taken in by complement receptors on alveolar macrophages bc survive and replicates intracellularly
- mycelia acid in cell wall makes them hard to clear -> pyogramulomatous lesions
rhodococcus equi diagnosis
- evidence of nodules on us or rads + gram pos bacilli/ cocci
rhodococcus equi
- hard to tx with ab in animal bc intracell and in pyogramulomas; give macrolide and rifampin combo to affect protein and rna synth
rhodococcus equi vac
- none
mycoplasma spp. general features
- pleomorphic cells
- stain gram neg
- facultative anaerobe
- mollicutes (lack outer membrane and cell wall so stain gram neg but not true gram neg)
mycoplasma spp. comensal?
- normal inhabitant of mucosa throughout body
mycoplasma outside host
- does not survive well outside host
mycoplasma spp. transmission
- inhalation
