The effect of copper deficiency on the resistance of mice to infection with Pasteurella haemolytica.

Mice adjudged copper deficient on the basis of significantly decreased blood and tissue copper content and superoxide dismutase activity, but generally showing no clinical signs of deficiency, were infected intraperitoneally with Pasteurella haemolytica. In 3 separate experiments the LD50 for deficient animals was significantly depressed below that of copper-sufficient controls. Furthermore, in mice surviving challenge at doses near to the LD50, spleen weights were significantly increased and body temperatures depressed in the copper-deficient animals. These results indicate that subclinical copper deficiency in the mouse, is associated with an increased susceptibility to experimental infections with P. haemolytica.

The pathology of experimental respiratory infection with Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica in rabbits.

Groups of female New Zealand White rabbits, 8-10 weeks old, were inoculated intranasally with three different Pasteurella multocida serotypes (A:3, A:4 and A:12) or one of three Bordetella bronchiseptica strains of rabbit origin. Seven out of 18 rabbits died of experimental infection with P. multocida. B. bronchiseptica killed 3 out of the 8 animals inoculated with it. Deaths occurred between 3 and 6 days postinoculation (PI). In the rabbits that died of P. multocida inoculation, necropsy and histology revealed severe pleuritis with the accumulation of a remarkable amount of fibrinopurulent exudate in the thoracic cavity, serous rhinitis and tracheitis, acute hepatitis with necrotic foci in the parenchyma, and atrophy of the lymphoid organs and tissues. Rabbits killed 10 days PI developed only subacute serous rhinitis and hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissues. Rabbits that died of B. bronchiseptica inoculation showed acute serous rhinitis, acute catarrhal-fibrinopurulent pneumonia and mild pleuritis. As opposed to P. multocida inoculated animals, hepatitis and atrophy of the lymphoid tissues were not characteristic of these rabbits. Rabbits killed 10 days PI developed subacute purulent and necrotic pneumonia with remarkable macrophage proliferation, involving all lobes, and hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissues.

Systemic infection by Pasteurella canis biotype 1 in newborn puppies.

Pasteurella canis biotype 1, usually associated with the oral cavity of dogs and cats, or with human wound infections following dog bites, was isolated from newborn puppies with a fatal systemic infection. The identity of P. canis was confirmed by arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction and the organism was susceptible to all the penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones tested and to most of the aminoglycosides tested. This represents the first report of systemic pasteurellosis caused by P. canis in dogs.

Experimental respiratory infection with Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica in rabbits.

Eight-to-10-wk-old offspring of a colony of specific pathogen free [Eda:(NZW x FG)F1BR] rabbits were exposed to cultures of Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica. Two groups of 9 animals each were exposed to cultures of either species of bacteria intranasally and killed 2, 7, 14, and 21 da postinoculation. Five of 9 rabbits in each group developed a mucopurulent nasal discharge 4-7 da postinoculation. The remaining 4 rabbits in each group failed to develop clinical signs. The gross and microscopic lesions did not differ in character or distribution among the inoculated rabbits. The infection was characterized by an acute upper respiratory syndrome accompanied by a mild bronchopneumonia.
