comparison of standardised versus non-standardised methods for testing the in vitro potency of oxytetracycline against mannheimia haemolytica and pasteurella multocida. | the in vitro pharmacodynamics of oxytetracycline was established for six isolates of each of the calf pneumonia pathogens mannheimia haemolytica and pasteurella multocida. minimum inhibitory concentration (mic), minimum bactericidal concentration (mbc) and bacterial time-kill curves were determined in two matrices, mueller hinton broth (mhb) and calf serum. geometric mean mic ratios, serum:mhb, were 25.2:1 (m. haemolytica) and 27.4:1 (p. multocida). the degree of binding of oxytetracycline to se ... | 2016 | 27938710 |
limitations of mic as sole metric of pharmacodynamic response across the range of antimicrobial susceptibilities within a single bacterial species. | the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of an antimicrobial drug for a bacterial pathogen is used as a measure of the bacterial susceptibility to the drug. however, relationships between the antimicrobial concentration, bacterial susceptibility, and the pharmacodynamic (pd) inhibitory effect on the bacterial population are more complex. the relationships can be captured by multi-parameter models such as the emax model. in this study, time-kill experiments were conducted with a zoonotic pathog ... | 2016 | 27905408 |
a novel quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method for detecting toxigenic pasteurella multocida in nasal swabs from swine. | progressive atrophic rhinitis (par) in pigs is caused by toxigenic pasteurella multocida. in switzerland, par is monitored by selective culture of nasal swabs and subsequent polymerase chain reaction (pcr) screening of bacterial colonies for the p. multocida toxa gene. a panel of 203 nasal swabs from a recent par outbreak were used to evaluate a novel quantitative real-time pcr for toxigenic p. multocida in porcine nasal swabs. | 2016 | 27903273 |
use of molecular pathogenicity indices to identify pathogenic strains of pasteurella multocida. | in addition to being the causative agent of fowl cholera (fc), pasteurella multocida is also one of the most prevalent opportunistic pathogens associated with respiratory diseases in various hosts. however, understanding of the traits that distinguish the virulent isolates that cause fc is still limited. the objective of this study was to characterize p. multocida isolates of brazil by pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) analysis in order to determine if strain-type correlate ... | 2016 | 27902916 |
