Q

Virulence factors

A

Adhesins: ciliated respiratory epithelia

Q

Virulence factors

• Toxins

A

TOXINS:

Hemolysin(adenylate cyclase toxin)

—RTX family of toxins (repeat in toxin)

——Inhibition of function of neutrophils

—–Pore forming

  • *Dermonecrotic toxin**

Q
  1. Progressive atrophic rhinitis
A

Diseases in pigs

+ Pasteurella multocida

Also producer of DNT (PMT), but with activation of osteoclasts

P. multocida, DNT+ (also called PMT)

• Colonization of nose

  • —-Only if (byB.bronchiseptica)
  • —- -Mucus production is sufficient (by B. bronchiseptica) ——-Damage of epithelium (NH3) (by B. bronchiseptica)
  • —– High infection pressure (by P. multocida)
  • Multiplication of P. multocida
  • DNT production of P. multocida to infect Osteoclasts

• Severity of lesions-atrophic rhinitis depends on

  • Infection pressure
  • Age of colonization with Bb and Pm
  • Dust
  • Ventilation

– farm management as a whole

pic- can tell that the nose is not symmetrical

Q

Epidemiology of Progressive atrophic rhinitis

A

Epidemiology
• Bb colonizes easier than Pm
• Direct contact or aerosol (short distance)

  • Sow to offspring
  • older piglets to younger- have to be careful not to mix pigs

Q

Treatment and prevention of atrophic rhinitis

A
  • Difficult!!!
  • No optimal therapy

• Combination of

• Hygiene, management factors

——Compartmentation

——-Ventilation

——-Constant temperature

  • Antibacterial (Pm has quite some acquired resistance)
  • Vaccination Sows

——DNT of Pm must be included

——-Inactivated Bb

———-Heat labile toxin of Pm

• Vaccination of piglets: questionable result

Q

Diagnosis (B. bronchispetica)

A
  • Cultivation
  • Sampling nose (tonsils)
  • —- Clean nose before
  • ——Deep(useflexibleswab)

——- In transport medium

  • Slow growth
  • Better at 30 than 37oC
  • Blood agar plates
  • Overgrowth problems
  • (Serology)
  • PCR

pic: Small grey colonies Hemolysis under colony

17
Q

Treatment of B. bronchispetica

A

• Naturally little susceptible to

  • —— Nitrofurantoin
  • ——-Spectinomycin, streptomycin

——–Ampi, amoxy
• Acquired resistance to sulfonamides is quite frequent

18
Q

  • Pneumonia and pleuritis
19
Q

Do not have to memorize

20
Q

B. bronchiseptica: kennel cough

Pathogenesis

A

• Infection
——Endogenic

——-Exogenic

• Adhesion to ciliated epithelium
