Antimicrobial resistance of Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coliisolated from sheep

The presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and resistance to beta-lactams in healthy sheep represents a potential public health risk. This study aimed to characterize STEC isolates in sheep feces for toxin production and resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. In the present study, amon...

Stx1 and Stx2 subtyping and antimicrobial resistance in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates from cattle and sheep feces in the Southeastern region of the State of Goiás, Brazil

Pesqui. vet. bras; 41 (), 2021
The present study was aimed at subtyping of Stx1 and Stx2 genes and characterization of antimicrobial resistance in 106 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from cattle and sheep feces. PCR was used to determine the subtypes, and the disk-diffusion method was used to evaluate th...

Gangrenous mastitis in sheep caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (12), 2020
Mastitis is a multifactorial disease and considered one of the most critical problems in the dairy industry worldwide. The condition is characterized by reduced milk and several abnormalities in the mammary gland. This study aimed to report an outbreak of gangrenous mastitis caused by multidrug-resistant...

Seroprevalence of Brucella ovis-epididymitis, smooth-Brucella, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, and Maedi-Visna in sheep slaughtered in Minas Gerais State, Brazil

The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of antibodies against Brucella ovis-epididymitis, smooth-Brucella, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis and Maedi-visna in sheep slaughtered in Minas Gerais, Brazil and to study their simultaneous occurrence, including caseous lymphadenitis, at sheep and flock l...

Pathogenic potential of Brucella ovis field isolates with different genotypic profile and protection provided by the vaccine strain B. ovis ΔabcBA against B. ovis field isolates in mice

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (2), 2020
Brucella ovis causes economic and reproductive losses in sheep herds. The goal of this study was to characterize infection with B. ovis field isolates in a murine model, and to evaluate protection induced by the candidate vaccine strain B. ovis ΔabcBA in mice challenged with these field isolates. B. ovi...

Se estudiaron 15 aislamientos de diferentes fuentes por ...

Serological diagnosis and risk factors for Coxiella burnetii in goats and sheep in a semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil

Abstract Coxiella burnetii is a zoonotic agent transmitted mainly by small ruminants. In Brazil the disease has been classified as a notifiable disease since 2013, when human cases were reported. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the presence of anti- Coxiella burnetii antibodies ...

Sensibilidade in vitro a antimicrobianos de Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolados de pequenos ruminantes da região Centro- Norte do Estado da Bahia

Introdução: corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis é uma bactéria com importância em medicina veterinária por ser o agente etiológico da Linfadenite Caseosa (LC) em pequenos ruminantes. A doença leva a perdas econômicas devido a condenação de carcaças, diminuição de produtividade e redução do...

Poisoning by Senna obtusifolia in sheep

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (8), 2018
In a paddock highly invaded by Senna obtusifolia 10 out of 60 sheep showed muscle weakness and 9 died after a clinical manifestation period of 24-76 hours. Serum activities of creatine kinase were increased in all sheep examined. Multifocal polyphasic muscle segmental degeneration and necrosis was observ...

Ocorrência de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii e anti-Neospora caninum em ovinos com distúrbios reprodutivos e fatores de risco
