otitis media in guinea pigs: pathology and bacteriology.in the course of post-mortem examination of conventional random-bred and inbred (immunosuppressed) strain 2/n guineapigs kept in separate quarters, otitis media was diagnosed in 62 of 462 animals (13.4%) and 18 of 66 animals (27.3%) respectively. clinical signs of otitis media were seen in only two random-bred animals but in nearly 50% of affected inbred animals. in random-bred guineapigs, purulent, often bilateral, otitis media was associated mainly with the isolation of streptococcus zooepidem ...19863795863
induced atrophic rhinitis in rats.infections with bordetella bronchiseptica and pasteurella multocida were inducted in newborn specific-pathogen-free rats. turbinate atrophy was quantified by measuring the length of the osseous core of the ventral turbinates. bordetella bronchiseptica readily colonized the nasal cavity. inoculated rats developed serum agglutinating antibodies to b bronchiseptica. turbinate atrophy, correlating with a severe inflammatory reaction, was observed after dual inoculation with b bronchiseptica or after ...19863789506
investigation into the pathogenesis of atrophic rhinitis in pigs. i. atrophic rhinitis caused by bordetella bronchiseptica and pasteurella multocida and the meaning of a thermolabile toxin of p. multocida.in two groups of swine herds, herds with and without clinical ar the presence of atrophic rhinitis (ar) correlated with the presence of toxinogenic pasteurella multocida (pm) and not with the bordetella bronchiseptica (bb) infection. six bb- and eighteen pm-strains have been investigated for ar pathogenicity. broth cultures were injected intradermally in guinea-pigs (gpst) or intranasally in 3-week-old colostrum deprived specific pathogen free (spf) piglets. the average atrophy of the ventral co ...19863750802
the synergistic activity of tiamulin and chlortetracycline: in-feed treatment of bacterially complicated enzootic pneumonia in fattening pigs.the antibacterial effects of a combination of tiamulin and chlortetracycline in vitro against a number of field isolates of pasteurella multocida, haemophilus pleuropneumoniae and bordetella bronchiseptica were examined. there was a marked synergism between the two antibiotics against all eight isolates of p multocida, against seven of nine isolates of h pleuropneumoniae and against the single strain of b bronchiseptica tested. two field trials were carried out on a herd with a history of compli ...19863750792
the characterisation of bordetella/alcaligenes-like organisms and their effects on turkey poults and chicks.eight isolates of the bordetella or alcaligenes-like organisms associated with turkey rhino-tracheitis were examined. five of these isolates had been recovered from the united kingdom and three were foreign isolates. four of the uk isolates came from flocks with mild respiratory disease. the fifth isolate came from birds with no respiratory signs and this appears to be the first report of the recovery of bordetella/alcaligenes from apparently normal turkeys. the field isolates and type strains a ...198618766500
identification of bordetella avium sp. nov. by the api 20 ne system.the reactions of 47 bordetella avium strains in the api 20 ne micro-test system were compared to those of the species bordetella bronchiseptica, alcaligenes faecalis and alcaligenes denitrificans. the api 20 ne microtest system allowed separation between b. avium and the other species of gram-negative nonfermentative rods investigated.198618766558
nucleotide sequence homology to pertussis toxin gene in bordetella bronchiseptica and bordetella parapertussis.multiple strains of bordetella parapertussis and b. bronchiseptica were examined for the presence of nucleotide sequences which hybridized with a cloned 4.5-kilobase (kb) fragment of b. pertussis dna containing the genes responsible for pertussis toxin expression. all six b. parapertussis strains tested had nucleic acid sequences that hybridized with the cloned 4.5-kb fragment in southern blot analyses. when the b. parapertussis dna was digested with restriction endonuclease psti, the pattern of ...19873818081
virulence factors of bordetella bronchiseptica associated with the production of infectious atrophic rhinitis and pneumonia in experimentally infected neonatal swine.four strains of bordetella bronchiseptica (csu-p-1, 64-c-0406, 1120-a-83-013, and b205bt) with defined virulence for neonatal swine were examined, and an attempt was made to correlate the presence of certain in vitro phenotypic characteristics with the ability of a particular b. bronchiseptica strain to produce turbinate and lung lesions in piglets. all of the strains except csu-p-1 colonized the nasal passages of the pigs heavily, and strains 1120-a-83-013 and b205bt produced moderate to severe ...19873793231
clonal diversity and host distribution in bordetella bronchiseptica.a total of 303 isolates of bordetella bronchiseptica recovered from 11 host species were characterized by the electrophoretic mobilities of 15 metabolic enzymes, and 21 distinctive multilocus genotypes (electrophoretic types) were distinguished on the basis of allele profiles at the enzyme loci. the population structure of b. bronchiseptica is clonal, and its genetic diversity is limited in comparison with most other pathogenic bacteria, perhaps reflecting a relatively recent origin of the speci ...19873584070
differentiation of bordetella avium and related species by cellular fatty acid analysis.the fatty acids of 18 strains of bordetella avium, 3 strains of alcaligenes faecalis, 5 strains of bordetella bronchiseptica, and 12 strains of a b. avium-like organism were examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. the presence of a significant amount of the acid 2-oh c14:0 characterized b. avium and the b. avium-like organism. b. avium and the b. avium-like organism differed in their relative concentrations of c16:1 and 3-oh c14:0 acids. b. bronchiseptica and a. faecalis were distingui ...19873597749
airborne-induced experimental bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in strain 13 guineapigs.to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial bacterial vaccine in protecting strain 13 guineapigs against fatal bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia, it was necessary to establish the infectivity and disease pathogenesis induced by virulent organisms. when guineapigs were exposed to small-particle aerosols of varying concentrations of virulent b. bronchiseptica, a spectrum of disease was produced that ranged from inapparent illness to fulminant bronchopneumonia. clinical signs began by day 4 after ex ...19873626470
pharmacokinetics of cefazolin in guinea pigs.the occurrence of antibiotic-related enterocolitis in guinea pigs restricts the use of many common antibiotics in this species. cephaloridine, an antibiotic frequently recommended for this species, is no longer available and a substitute has yet to be explored. in this study, the potential therapeutic efficacy of cefazolin, also a first generation cephalosporin, was evaluated in guinea pigs by assessing pharmacokinetics, toxicity and the minimal inhibitory concentration for selected animal patho ...19873695403
[quantitative study of the sensitivity of bordetella bronchiseptica and pasteurella multocida to sulfonamides].information concerning the resistance to sulfonamides in the netherlands was obtained by determining the minimal inhibitory concentrations (mic's) of 119 strains of bordetella bronchiseptica and 151 strains of pasteurella multocida, obtained from pigs at five veterinary bacteriology centres, to sulfadimidine (sdm) and sulfamethoxazole (smx). the mic's of sdm against su-susceptible strains were usually 4 times higher than those of smx. about one third of b. bronchiseptica isolates were resistant ...19873824346
[comparative local and systemic immunization against experimentally-induced bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in icr mice].it is described the experimental bordetella bronchiseptica infection via aerosol in icr mice. 10(6) living bacteria were found in the lung after aerosol challenge with a total of 10(12) cfu. the pneumonias produced in this infection model within 10 days are focal, interstitial and proliferative to a low and medium degree, respectively. they are significantly reduced already by a single i.p. or s.c. immunization. two vaccinations with inactivated bordetellae or a temperature sensitive mutant redu ...19873687105
efficacy of commercial vaccines for protecting guinea pigs against bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia.autogenous bacterins are recommended to protect guinea pigs (cavia porcellus) against pneumonia due to bordetella bronchiseptica. bordetella vaccines are available commercially for several other animal species. the substantial antigenic cross-reactivity among bordetella isolates from various animal species suggests that immunity resulting from use of these vaccines might protect guinea pigs. groups of ten individually housed hartley guinea pigs from a colony free of bordetella were vaccinated wi ...19873599889
a rapid enzyme-linked semi-microwell assay for the enumeration of antibody-forming cells to viral and bacterial antigens in domestic animals.details of an enzyme immunoassay for the enumeration of antibody-forming cells are given with examples of its application to immunization with viral (newcastle disease virus) or bacterial (haemophilus pleuropneumoniae) pathogens of domesticated species. the assays showed reciprocal specificity when compared to another virus (avian paramyxovirus serotype 3) or another bacterium (bordetella bronchiseptica) and were used to show the class specificity of avian afc and the effect of passive antibody ...19873611797
isolation and characterisation of bordetella avium and related species and an evaluation of their role in respiratory disease in poultry.a total of 24 gram negative non fermentative bacteria obtained from poultry were compared with reference strains of bordetella avium, alcaligenes faecalis, bordetella bronchiseptica and a bordetella avium-like organism. thirteen isolates were identified as b. avium and 11 were identified as b. avium-like. a commercial microidentification kit (the api2one) did not identify the field isolates but did separate them correctly into the 2 groups. a practical identification scheme, suitable for diagnos ...19873689262
prevention of atrophic rhinitis in piglets by means of intranasal administration of a live non-ar-pathogenic bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine.the effect of intranasal vaccination of piglets with live non-ar-pathogenic bordetella bronchiseptica (bb-) against atrophic rhinitis (ar) was investigated in a preliminary investigation and in a field trial. in the preliminary investigation 2-day-old spf piglets (n = 13) were vaccinated. three weeks after vaccination, challenges were carried out by means of a spray with an ar-pathogenic b (bb+) or an ar-pathogenic pasteurella multocida (pm+) broth-culture. four weeks later the piglets were necr ...19872956754
evidence for sialyl glycoconjugates as receptors for bordetella bronchiseptica on swine nasal mucosa.the nature of the receptors for bordetella bronchiseptica was investigated by using the in vitro adherence assay system. the results indicated that sialyl glycoconjugates acted as receptors on swine nasal mucosa. these results were obtained by two independent approaches: inhibition of epithelial cell adherence with sialic acid-containing compounds but not with compounds lacking sialic acid residues and loss of adherence after treatment of epithelial cells with periodate or neuraminidase. b. bron ...19873036708
bordetella parapertussis and bordetella bronchiseptica contain transcriptionally silent pertussis toxin genes.pertussis toxin, the major virulence factor of bordetella pertussis, is not produced by the closely related species bordetella parapertussis and bordetella bronchiseptica. it is shown here that these two species possess but do not express the complete toxin operon. nucleotide sequencing of an ecori fragment of 5 kilobases comprising the regions homologous to the pertussis toxin genes shows that in this region, b. parapertussis and b. bronchiseptica are 98.5% and 96% homologous, respectively, to ...19873584073
a note on the isoprenoid quinone content of bordetella avium and related species.the isoprenoid quinone content of isolates of bordetella avium (four strains), alcaligenes faecalis (one strain), bordetella bronchiseptica (one strain) and a bordetella avium-like organism (four strains) was determined by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. all the isolates contained ubiquinones with eight isoprene units as the major component. no menaquinones were detected.19873597205
effect of antigenic modulation and phase variation on adherence of bordetella bronchiseptica to porcine nasal epithelial cells.in parallel with bacterial density, bordetella bronchiseptica phase-i, x-mode cells adhered well to porcine nasal epithelial cells, whereas c-mode cells and variant cells in phases ii, iii, and rough adhered feebly. cell surface components lost, on transition from x to c mode or from phase i to degraded phases, may confer much of the organism's adherence ability.19873434914
the primary and secondary cellular immune responses to whole cell bordetella pertussis vaccine and its components.the cellular immune responses of balb/c mice and wistar rats immunized in hind footpads with intact killed bordetella pertussis were found to differ from those of similar animals immunized with other bacteria including bordetella bronchiseptica, salmonella typhimurium and escherichia coli. all the bacteria stimulated increases in cell number, proliferation and interleukin 2 (il-2) production in popliteal lymph nodes which peaked 3-5 days after injection and decreased to resting levels by day 7. ...19873498569
bordetella bronchiseptica and toxigenic type d pasteurella multocida as agents of severe atrophic rhinitis of swine.bordetella bronchiseptica and toxigenic type-d pasteurella multocida were cultured from pigs in each of five herds diagnosed as having severe atrophic rhinitis (ar). b. bronchiseptica alone, p. multocida alone, or both organisms isolated from four herds were inoculated intranasally into 1-week-old gnotobiotic pigs which were necropsied 4 weeks post-inoculation (pi). nasal turbinate atrophy in b. bronchiseptica-inoculated pigs was moderate to severe, while p. multocida-inoculated pigs had slight ...19873564360
bordetella bronchiseptica bronchitis.the clinical course of a patient with bronchitis caused by bordetella bronchiseptica is described. the organism was recovered on one occasion from a protected catheter brush specimen obtained at bronchoscopy and on two occasions from expectorated sputum specimens. the infection was eradicated with antimicrobial therapy.19873571462
bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.this case report describes two episodes of pneumonia caused by bordetella bronchiseptica in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. there was discrepancy between the in vitro sensitivity testing of the organism and subsequent clinical response to several antimicrobial agents. human infection with b bronchiseptica is almost always associated with severe underlying disease and contact with an appropriate animal reservoir.19873629325

increase in intradermal vascular permeability caused by pertussis toxin from bordetella pertussis.rabbits that were injected intradermally with pertussis toxin (pt), produced from bordetella pertussis, showed slight edema and erythema at the injection sites, but not hemorrhage nor necrosis. the edema lesions were stained blue by the intravenous injection of pontamine sky blue 6b dye, suggesting that pt caused increased vascular permeability, similarly to the permeability factor (pf) of cholera toxin. the reaction of the pf of pt could be determined by measuring the diameter of the blue area. ...19872890084
stimulation of bone resorption by inflamed nasal mucosa, dermonecrotic toxin-containing conditioned medium from pasteurella multocida, and purified dermonecrotic toxin from p. multocida.the effects of inflamed nasal mucosa from pigs with atrophic rhinitis (ar), cell extract from bordetella bronchiseptica, conditioned medium from pasteurella multocida, and purified dermonecrotic toxin (dnt) from p. multocida on mouse fetal long bones in organ culture were studied. inflamed nasal "ar mucosa" stimulated the release of 45ca from prelabeled cultures, while histologically the formation of calcified matrix was impaired as well. b. bronchiseptica cell extract only transiently increased ...19873623695
evolutionary relationships in the genus bordetella.the nucleotide sequence of the pertussis toxin operon of bordetella pertussis, bordetella parapertussis and bordetella bronchiseptica, has shown that the last two species contain many common mutations and are likely to derive from a common ancestor (aricò and rappuoli, 1987). to elucidate further the evolutionary relationships between the bordetella species, we have cloned and sequenced the promoter region and the gene coding for the s1 subunit of pertussis toxin from additional b. pertussis str ...19872896289
characterization of fimbrial subunits from bordetella species.using antisera raised against serotype 2 and 3 fimbrial subunits from bordetella pertussis, serologically related polypeptides were detected in bordetella bronchiseptica, bordetella parapertussis and bordetella avium strains. the two b. pertussis fimbrial subunits, and three of the serologically related b. bronchiseptica polypeptides, were shown to be very similar in amino acid composition and n-terminal amino acid sequence. homology was observed between the n-termini of these polypeptides, and ...19872907088
promoter of the pertussis toxin operon and production of pertussis toxin.pertussis toxin (pt), the major virulence factor of bordetella pertussis, is composed of five different subunits whose genes are organized as an operon. we report the mapping of the promoter region of the pt operon and show that this promoter is only weakly active in escherichia coli. bordetella parapertussis and bordetella bronchiseptica, which do not produce any pt, are shown to have a weaker promoter sequence for this operon and not to produce any detectable pt mrna. we show that transcriptio ...19872438270
structural and functional properties of a 69-kilodalton outer membrane protein of bordetella pertussis.a-69-kda outer membrane protein present on virulent bordetella pertussis cells is recognized by the agglutinating monoclonal antibodies bpe3, bpd8, and bpe8. the amino acid composition of this protein, purified from heat extracts of b. pertussis bp353 cells, is different from that of the two major fimbrial antigens of b. pertussis, which is consistent with its being a nonfimbrial protein based on other criteria. western blot analysis using the monoclonal antibody bpe3 demonstrated that a slightl ...19882908522
positive regulation of pertussis toxin expression.although the genus bordetella contains several closely related species, pertussis toxin (pt) is produced only by phase i bordetella pertussis. in this work we have studied the regulation of expression of the pt operon and investigated why pt is produced by phase i and not by phase iii b. pertussis despite the presence of the pt genes. we have constructed a vector for bordetella species that contains the pt promoter fused to the coding region of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) gene, a ...19882897691
[detection of the gene sequences of the leukocytosis (lymphocytosis)-stimulating factor of bordetella pertussis in bordetella parapertussis and bordetella bronchiseptica by using molecular hybridization].the 4.7 kb ecori-fragment of phase i b. pertussis 475 (serovar 1.2.3) chromosome dna carrying the pertussis toxin (pt) operon was cloned on vector plasmid puc19 in escherichia coli. three fragments (1.14 kb kpni-psti, 1.27 kb psti-psti, and 0.96 kb psti-psti) were obtained from the resulting hybrid plasmid, coded prh119, by electrophoretic techniques and used as a combined molecular probe for analysis of the ecori-digested and psti-digested chromosomal dna of b. pertussis strain 475 in phase i, ...19882901175
electron microscopic observations on tracheal epithelia of mice infected with bordetella bronchiseptica.to clarify the pathogenesis of bordetella in vivo infection, the tracheal epithelia of mice were examined in detail by electron microscopy at various intervals after intranasal inoculation with graded doses of phase i bordetella bronchiseptica. in mice infected with a lethal dose (6 to 7 x 10(7) cfu), a remarkable rupture of the cell membranes of cilia and microvilli of the middle trachea was found on day i postinfection. the rupture of the membrane was observed over the entire tracheal epitheli ...19883173144
