The Etiological Relation of Bacillus Actinoides to Bronchopneumonia in Calves

نویسنده

  • Theobald Smith
چکیده

A bronchopneumonia of calves in the early months of life is described and its etiology associated definitely with a minute bacillus, Bacillus actinoides. Bacillus pyogenes, Bacillus bovisepticus, and, less frequently, staphylococci and streptococci may appear later in the affected lungs. Subcutaneous injections of cultures of Bacillus actinoides produce large indurations ending in necrosis. Similarly intratracheal injections produce circumscribed necroses of lung tissue. The cultivation of Bacillus actinoides and its morphological peculiarities have been sufficiently described and illustrated in an earlier publication to ensure success on the part of those who attempt to isolate it.

T H E Etiological Relation of Bacillus Actinoides to Bronchopneumonia in Calves. by Theobald

In the early months of 1917 an outbreak of pneumonia occurred among calves belonging to a large dairy herd in which about 100 calves are raised annually. Up to May l, eleven cases had been autopsied. Nine of these were killed in advanced stages of the disease and two died. Scattering cases occurred at the rate of about one a month into November. Of these, one died and seven were killed. In the ...

A Pleomorphic Bacillus from Pneumonic Lungs of Calves Simulating Actinomyces

A bacillus was found associated in pure culture with an extensive lobar bronchopneumonia in calves. It occurs in the exudate as a minute bacillus in small groups. In cultures it appears in three forms: as a bacillus, as a coccus-like endospore or arthrospore, and as a conglomerate Actinomyces-like flake or colony with peripheral clubs. The bacillar and coccoid forms occur on agar, the Actinomyc...

Profiles of serum amino acids to screen for catabolic and inflammation status in calves with Mycoplasma bronchopneumonia

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between serum amino acid profiles in normal and calves with Mycoplasma bronchopneumonia. Serum free amino acid concentrations in serum obtained from 34 calves with or without Mycoplasma bronchopneumonia were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The calves with Mycoplasma were characterized by significantly lower ...

Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Tilmicosin in the Treatment of Pasteurella haemolytica Bronchopneumonia in Calves

Tilmicosin was administered intravenously and subcutaneously at a dose rate of 10 mg/kg bwt to determine its concentration in blood and bronchial secretion as well as its kinetic behavior in healthy and Pasteurella haemolytica type A1-infected calves. Sever acute bronchopneumonia was induced in 10 calves by inoculating them intra-tracheally with P. haemolytica type A1. The calves were treated w...
