In this study, Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from a draught horse presented to Kassala Veterinary Research Laboratory (KVRL) for investigation and diagnosis. The affected animal was previously treated with Gentamycin and Tetracycline before submitted to this laboratory, but the animal was not cure. Thereafter, the animal was attended to the laboratory; it was suffering from inguinal abscess and some clinical signs. Clinical and laboratory examinations were carried out however, the animal was suddenly fallen and died immediately. Then post-mortem, bacteriological and histopathological examinations were done. S. aureus was isolated as pure culture from the lungs and peritoneum of the necropsied animal. This isolate showed highly sensitivity to Erythromycin and Clindamycin and it was resistant to Penicillin, Cloxacillin, Cefotaxime, Co-Trimoxazole, Cephalexin and Tetracycline. It was concluded from this study, the shock resulted from S. aureus was the causative agent of the death in this case.
A pathogenic strain of Macrococcus caseolyticus (M. caseolyticus) was isolated from wounds infection during an investigation on donkeys in Khartoum State. (122) samples were collected from external wounds (head, abdomen, back and leg) during different seasons. One isolate (124B) was identified using whole-genome sequence analysis. RAST software identified 31 virulent genes of disease and defense, including methicillin-resistant genes, TatR family and ANT(4′)-Ib. Plasmid rep22 was identified by PlasmidFindet-2.0 Server and a CRISPR. MILST-2.0 predicted many novel alleles. NCBI notated the genome as a novel M. caseolyticus strain (DaniaSudan). The MLST−tree−V1 revealed that DaniaSudan and KM0211a strains were interrelated. Strain DaniaSudan was resistant to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, erythromycin, oxacillin, clindamycin and kanamycin. Mice modeling showed bacteremia and many clinical signs (swelling, allergy, wounds, and hair loss). Enlargement, hyperemia, adhesions and abscesses were observed in many organs.Constructive conclusionThe prevalence of the strain was 4.73%, with significant differences between collection seasons and locations of wounds. A highly significant association between doses (105 CFU/ml, 102 CFU/ml, Intra-peritoneum and sub-cutaneous) and swelling, developing of allergy and loss of hair (p = 0.001, p = 0.000 and p = 0.005) respectively were seen.This result represents the first report of pathogenic strains of M. caseolyticus worldwide.
The present study was carried out on the two local Sudanese Pasteurella multocida strain B and E which cause Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) disease in the Sudan and used for the production of the vaccine against this disease. This study was done to test the cross reaction between the two strains. The study showed that there was a cross reaction between the two strains in the rabbit sera when tested by ELISA. The active cross protection test in rabbits showed that vaccine of strain E protected 50% of the rabbits against challenge with strain B, while the vaccine of B could not protect the rabbits against the challenge with strain E 0%. Each vaccine of B and E could protect the rabbits 100% against the challenge with the same strain (homologously).
A pathogenic strains of Macrococcus caseolyticus was isolated from wounds infection during investigation on donkeys in Khartoum State. Samples were collected from external wounds (head, abdomin, back and leg), during different seasons of the year. One isolate (124B) was identified using whole-genome sequence analysis. RAST software identified thirty-one virulent genes of disease and defense including methicillin resistant genes, TatR family and ANT(4’)-Ib. Plasmid rep22 wasidentified by PlasmidFindet-2.0 Server and a CRISPR. MILST-2.0 predicted many novel alleles. NCBI notated the genome as a novel strain of M.caseolyticus strain (DaniaSudan). The MLST-tree-V1 revealed that DaniaSudan and KM0211a strains were interrelated. Strain Daniasudan was resistant to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, erythromycin, oxacillin, clindamycin and kanamycin. The prevalence of the strain was 4.73%, with significant differences between collection seasons and locations of wounds. Mice modling showen bacteremia and many clinical (swelling, allergy, wounds and loss of hair). Enlarged, hyperemia, adhesions and abscesses were observed in many organs. This represents the first report of pathogenic strains of M.caseolyticus worldwide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
