Clostridium (C.) perfringens is the causative agent of several diseases and enteric infections in animals humans. The pathogenicity bacterium largely mediated by production a wide range toxins. Individual C. strains produce only subsets this toxin repertoire, which permits classification seven toxinotypes (A–G). In addition, variety minor toxins further characterizes single strains. aim work was to evaluate, using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays, diversity 632 isolated Italy over 15...
The overuse of antibiotics in livestock contributes to the antibiotic resistance pandemic. assessment actual consumption is crucial limiting expansion problem effectively. aim this study was provide first qualitative and quantitative analysis antimicrobial usage using data from paper-based registers on dairy beef farms located Umbria region, Italy. Antimicrobial therapies a one-year period were collected 101 with at least 50 cattle each. Defined daily doses (DDDvet) defined course (DCDvet)...
In this study, we validated a commercial indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antibodies glycoprotein E (gE) of Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) in bulk milk (BM) samples using the OIE Manual Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals. The performance characteristics were evaluated panel positive (n = 36) negative 80) with known infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) status. showed adequate repeatability (within-run between-run), coefficient variability...
Abstract Background Streptococcus suis is an important pig pathogen and emerging zoonotic agent. In a previous study, we described high proportion of penicillin-resistant serotype 9 S. (SS9) isolates on farms in Italy. Objectives We hypothesized that resistance to penicillin emerged some SS9 lineages characterized by substitutions at the PBPs, contributing successful spread these last 20 years. Methods Sixty-six from cases streptococcosis pigs were investigated for susceptibility penicillin,...
The placement of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) is potentially associated with complications that negatively impact healthcare. Our study investigated factors the occurrence PIVC-related in dogs and cats at a Veterinary Teaching Hospital. second aim was to determine prevalence PIVC bacterial colonization. A total 76 40 PIVCs were evaluated for phlebitis mechanical complications. devices removed when they ceased be functional or occurred, content submitted cultures antimicrobial...
