Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Brachyspira Species Isolated from Swine Herds in the United States Clinical Veterinary Microbiology
The objectives of our study were to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility trends of four Brachyspira species originating from U.S. swine herds and to investigate their associations with the bacterial species, genotypes, and epidemiological origins of the isolates. We evaluated the susceptibility of B. hyodysenteriae, B. hampsonii, Brachyspira pilosicoli, and Brachyspira murdochii to tiamulin, valnemulin, doxycycline, lincomycin, and tylosin by broth microdilution and that to carbadox by agar dilution. In general, Brachyspira species showed high susceptibility to tiamulin, valnemulin, and carbadox, heterogeneous suscep...

Ceftiofur hydrochloride affects the humoral and cellular immune response in pigs after vaccination against swine influenza and pseudorabies
Conclusions: The effect of an antibiotic therapy with ceftiofur hydrochloride on the humoral and cellular post-vaccinal immune responses in pigs was investigated. Ceftiofur hydrochloride was given in therapeutic doses. The results of the present study indicate that both, humoral and cell-mediated post-vaccinal immune responses can be modulated by treatment with ceftiofur hydrochloride. The results of our study point out that caution should be taken when administered this antibiotic during vaccination of pigs.

Studies on a suitable antibiotic therapy for treating swine brucellosis
The aim of this work was developing effective treatments against Brucella suis biovar 2, responsible for swine brucellosis in Europe. MICs for antibiotics used classically in brucellosis and two new macrolides (tulathromycin and tildipirosin) were determined for 33 B. suis biovar 2 field and B. suis reference strains. MIC90 values ranged from 0.01 to 0.25 μg/mL. The best candidates, given alone or combined, were then evaluated in mice. Ten groups (n = 7) of BALB/c mice were inoculated (1 × 105 CFU/mouse) with a virulent B. suis biovar 2 field strain. All groups, excepting untreated control, were treated for 14 da...

Erysipelas, the opportunistic zoonotic disease: history, epidemiology, pathology, and diagnosis —a review
AbstractDue to the recent multidisciplinary collaborations towards ‘One Health’, it was necessary to review this important zoonotic disease, erysipelas. Swine erysipelas also referred to as diamond skin disease has since become one of the most serious hazards of swine production worldwide.Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, the aetiology of erysipelas could affect pigs, turkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, and emus. The most important animal reservoir ofE. rhusiopathiae is the domestic swine. The organism is shed by diseased animals in faeces, urine, saliva, and nasal secretions, which can contaminate food, water, and soil. Swin...

Clinical characteristics of 14 cases of severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing: A case series
The objective of this study was to explore the clinical, laboratory, and imaging features of severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia in order to improve early diagnosis and treatment success rates. Methods: We conducted a retrospective record review of 14 cases of severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing technology in our hospital. We extracted and analyzed data on the clinical symptoms and signs, contact history, laboratory investigations, chest computed tomography, treatment, and clinical outcomes. Results: Of the 14 patients, 12 (86%) were male and two (14%) were ...

A pediatric case of Chlamydia psittaci caused severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in Italy
ConclusionsPsittacosis is an extremely contagious disease, caused by an intracellular germ, called “Chlamydia psittaci”, a Gram-negative bacterium, transmitted to humans in particular by infected birds, responsible for atypical pneumonia, with acute and chronic respiratory symptoms, sometimes with multi-organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Even if it is a rare respiratory disease among childr en, a good doctor must think about psittacosis as cause of respiratory symptoms (and not only flu orSARS-COV2), above all through a correct medical history, in order to provide a targeted antibiotic therapy. A...

Development of an indirect immunofluorescence technique for the evaluation of generated antibody titers against Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).
Abstract Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is the causative agent of erysipelas, a disease of many mammalian and avian species, mainly swine and turkeys. In cetaceans, erysipelas is considered to be the most common infection in juvenile individuals, which have not been vaccinated. Moreover, the disease manifest in both forms, the dermatologic and the acute septicemic forms, has been reported in various species of dolphins and whales. It is difficult to diagnose erysipelas by currently available approaches. Moreover, it is mainly based on culture methods and also PCR methods, which are currently being developed. At the ...

Influence of phytogenic feed additive on Lawsonia intracellularis infection in pigs
Publication date: Available online 10 January 2018 Source:Preventive Veterinary Medicine Author(s): Vladimir Draskovic, Jasna Bosnjak-Neumuller, Marko Vasiljevic, Branko Petrujkic, Nevenka Aleksic, Vladimir Kukolj, Zoran Stanimirovic Lawsonia intracellularis is known to cause proliferative enteropathy (PE), one of the economically most important swine diseases with global distribution. Not unlike other enteric diseases, PE is a frequent indication for antibiotic therapy. However, their unjustified use leads to an emerging problem – antimicrobial resistance. Thus, the aim of this research was to assess if a phytogenic ad...

Microbiota of the Gut-Lymph Node Axis: Depletion of Mucosa-Associated Segmented Filamentous Bacteria and Enrichment of Methanobrevibacter by Colistin Sulfate and Linco-Spectin in Pigs
This study aimed to characterize shifts in microbial community structure across the intestinal mucosa-enteric lymph node axis in order to understand the effects of two commonly used antibiotics (Linco-Spectin and Colistin sulfate; oral application). We hypothesized that these antibiotics influence GI microbiota diversity and community structure and that, as a result, the ICLN-ileum axis is altered through permeability changes and changed translocation patterns. Medicated-feed antibiotics are still heavily used, not only in the E.U. but worldwide in case of infections. In addition to the taxonomic community profiling survey...

Swine as reservoirs of zoonotic borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2021 Aug 28;79:101697. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2021.101697. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMethicillin resistance mediated by the mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus, also known as "true MRSA", is typically associated with high oxacillin MIC values (≥8 mg/L). Because non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant S. aureus phenotypes can also cause hard-to-treat diseases in humans, their misidentification as methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strains (MSSA) can compromise the efficiency of the antimicrobial therapy. These strains have been refereed as Borderline Oxacillin-Resistant S. aureus (BORSA) b...
