Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis antimicrobial therapy.
Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is one of the most common diseases of cattle and is of major economic importance. If the primary aetiological agent, Moraxella bovis, is successfully eliminated from ocular tissues corneal ulcers heal at a constant rate. If treatment is unsuccessful ulcer reoccurrence may follow initial healing. Appropriate antimicrobial selection requires knowledge ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Moraxella bovoculi Strain 237T (ATCC BAA-1259T) Isolated from a Calf with Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis
Moraxella bovoculi is a recently identified species, recovered from the bovine eye, which is under investigation as an etiological agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis. A draft genome sequence of the Moraxella bovoculi type strain 237(T) has been determined to identify features that may be important during host colonization.
متن کاملInfectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis Management
Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis is a disease that affects many herds in the US, however, the epidemiology of the disease is complicated and control is frustrating for many producers. This article discusses putative causes of IBK and approaches to understanding the causes of success and apparent failure in IBK control programs.
متن کاملLarge genomic differences between Moraxella bovoculi isolates acquired from the eyes of cattle with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis versus the deep nasopharynx of asymptomatic cattle.
Moraxella bovoculi is a recently described bacterium that is associated with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) or "pinkeye" in cattle. In this study, closed circularized genomes were generated for seven M. bovoculi isolates: three that originated from the eyes of clinical IBK bovine cases and four from the deep nasopharynx of asymptomatic cattle. Isolates that originated from the eye...
متن کاملA haemolytic cell-free preparation of Moraxella bovis confers protection against infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.
Protection conferred by a cell-free preparation from a haemolytic Moraxella bovis isolate, UQV 148NF, was compared to an equivalent fraction from a non-haemolytic M. bovis isolate, Gordon 26L3, and to a recombinant DNA-derived pili vaccine. Three groups of ten calves were vaccinated twice with one of the three preparations and, together with ten non-vaccinated calves, challenged with virulent M...
