Effect of paratuberculosis on the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in a cattle herd with a mixed infection using interferon-gamma detection assay
Veterinary Microbiology publish this investigation article
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) detection assay is being applied as an ancillary test to tuberculin tests in the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis to detect the maximum number of infected animals. Among possible factors influencing the performance of tuberculosis-diagnostic tests, paratuberculosis, a widespread disease in Spain and other European countries, has been pointed out as a cause of false positive reactions. Still, its effect on the sensitivity of these tests in cattle has yet to be fully characterized. The impact of paratuberculosis in the apparent sensitivity of IFN-gamma assay was stud…

Occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Salmonella enterica in northern Spain with evidence of CTX-M-9 clonal spread among animals and humans
Investigation published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection
Among the 1233 Salmonella enterica isolates obtained in two Spanish hospitals, five isolates (0.4%) (serovars: Virchow, four; Livingstone, one) had the phenotype of an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producer. The genetic characterization of the ESBL of S. enterica Livingstone revealed a bla(SHV-2) gene. The bla(CTX-M-10) gene in a phage-related genetic environment was found in one S. enterica Virchow isolate, and the bla(CTX-M-9) gene within the In60 integron was found in the three remaining Virchow isolates. These three isolates presented indistinguishable or closely related pulsed-f…

Expression of immunoregulatory genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of European wild boar immunized with BCG
Investigation article published in Veterinary Microbiology
The objective of this study was to analyze the expression of immunoregulatory genes in European wild boar (Sus scrofa) immunized with BCG. Eighteen immunoregulatory genes were selected for expression analysis based on their role in host immune response during tuberculosis and/or for their association with resistance to bovine tuberculosis in European wild boar populations. Initially, mRNA levels were analyzed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) in spleen samples from Mycobacterium bovis-infected (N=18) and uninfected (N=22) European wild boar. Statistical analysis of …

Streptococcus plurextorum sp. nov., isolated from pigs
Investigation article published in International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
Biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on an unknown Gram-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped organism isolated from clinical samples from pigs. On the basis of the results of cellular morphological and biochemical tests, the organism was identified as a streptococcal species. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons confirmed its identification as a member of the genus Streptococcus, but the organism was distinct from any recognized species of this genus. The closest phylogenetic relative of the unknown organism corresponded to Streptococcus suis NCTC 10234(T) (97.2 % 16S r…

Pasteurella multocida
Anaporc publish this article
Pasteurella multocida es una bacteria muy heterogénea que se encuentra normalmente como comensal del tracto respiratorio y digestivo de mamiferos y aves aparentemente sanos en todo el mundo y que, en ocasiones, produce importantes patologías. Esta bacteria puede ser de 5 tipos capsulares diferentes (A, B, D, E, F) y puede presentar o no una toxina dermonecrótica necrotizante. En los cerdos este microorganismo es el causante de rinitis atrófica progresiva, generalmente las cepas de tipo capsular D que contienen la toxina, en muchas ocasiones asociadas a Bordetella bronchiseptica. Por otra parte…
