Enteric listeriosis in grazing steers supplemented with spoiled silage

An outbreak of enteric listeriosis in steers that were fed spoiled silage is reported. The outbreak started 2 days after ~200 animals in a single paddock were given a supplement of spoiled silage. Forty animals (20%) were affected, and 13 (6.5%) died over a period of 10 days. Affected animals were recumbent, depressed, and had diarrhea with mucus and fibrin. Gross and microscopic findings in 3 animals that were subjected to autopsy included excess peritoneal fluid, congestion and edema of abomasum, suppurative enteritis and colitis, and suppurative mesenteric lymphadenitis. Two strains of Listeria monocytogenes were isolated, one of serotype 1/2c from the gallbladder and one of serotype 1/2b from the spoiled silage. Listeria monocytogenes was detected in the mesenteric lymph nodes and intestinal wall of 1 animal by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Clinical history and signs, gross and microscopic findings, bacterial isolation, and IHC results confirmed a diagnosis of enteric listeriosis. The source of infection was likely the spoiled silage.

“…Human listeriosis cases have been reported throughout the world, including Africa, Oceania, South America, North America, Europe, and Asia (Ariza-Miguel et al 2015 ; Barbosa et al 2015 ; Hmaied et al 2014 ; Huang et al 2015 ; Lomonaco et al 2015 ; Najjar et al 2015 ; Negi et al 2015 ; Ramdani-Bouguessa and Rahal 2000 ; Scallan et al 2015a ; Scallan et al 2015b ). Similarly, animal listeriosis cases caused by L. monocytogenes have also been reported throughout the world, including Africa (Akpavie and Ikheloa 1992 ; Meredith and Schneider 1984 ; Schroeder and van Rensburg 1993 ), South America (Headley et al 2013 ; Headley et al 2014 ), North America (Wiedmann et al 1997 ; Wiedmann et al 1994 ; Wiedmann et al 1999 ; Woo-Sam 1999 ), Asia (Gu et al 2015 ; Malik et al 2002 ), Oceania (Fairley and Colson 2013 ; Fairley et al 2012 ), and Europe (Rocha et al 2013 ; Vela et al 2001 ; Wagner et al 2005 ). Animal listeriosis cases due to L. ivanovii has been recorded in different continents, including Oceania (McAuley et al 2014 ; Sergeant et al 1991 ), North America (Alexander et al 1992 ), Europe (Gill et al 1997 ; Kimpe et al 2004 ), South America (Hofer et al 2000 ), and Asia (Chand and Sadana 1999 ).…”

The genus Listeria is currently comprised of 17 species, including 9 Listeria species newly described since 2009. Genomic and phenotypic data clearly define a distinct group of six species (Listeria sensu strictu) that share common phenotypic characteristics (e.g., ability to grow at low temperature, flagellar motility); this group includes the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. The other 11 species (Listeria sensu lato) represent three distinct monophyletic groups, which may warrant recognition as separate genera. These three proposed genera do not contain pathogens, are non-motile (except for Listeria grayi), are able to reduce nitrate (except for Listeria floridensis), and are negative for the Voges-Proskauer test (except for L. grayi). Unlike all other Listeria species, species in the proposed new genus Mesolisteria are not able to grow below 7 °C. While most new Listeria species have only been identified in a few countries, the availability of molecular tools for rapid characterization of putative Listeria isolates will likely lead to future identification of isolates representing these new species from different sources. Identification of Listeria sensu lato isolates has not only allowed for a better understanding of the evolution of Listeria and virulence characteristics in Listeria but also has practical implications as detection of Listeria species is often used by the food industry as a marker to detect conditions that allow for presence, growth, and persistence of L. monocytogenes. This review will provide a comprehensive critical summary of our current understanding of the characteristics and distribution of the new Listeria species with a focus on Listeria sensu lato.

“…Ruminants are particularly susceptible to infection, being rhombencephalitis the most common clinical presentation (Oevermann et al 2010). Cases of miscarriage, neonatal septicaemia, keratoconjunctivitis/uveitis and enteritis have also been reported (Low & Donachie 1997, Oevermann et al 2010, Fairley & Colson 2013. Among ruminants, bovine species has the highest prevalence of carrier animals that shed bacteria asymptomatically (Nightingale et al 2004, Esteban et al 2009.…”

Detection of Listeria spp. in cattle and environment of pasture-based dairy farms

et al. 2018

The aim of the study was to detect Listeria spp., particularly Listeria monocytogenes, in cattle and environment of pasture based dairy farms in Paysandú, Uruguay. A two-stage sampling was conducted, 10 farms were selected by probability proportional to size. A single visit was made to each farm. Samples from bovine faeces, feedstuffs, bulk tank milk, drinking water and soil from the entry and exit pens of the milking parlour were collected for bacteriological studies. PCR assays were used to confirm species and determine the serotype profile of L. monocytogenes isolates. AscI-pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was done to genetically compare them. Listeria spp. were isolated from eight of ten dairy farms, whereas L. monocytogenes in three of them. Serotype distribution in L. monocytogenes was as follows: 1/2a, three isolates; 4b, one isolate. L. monocytogenes or L. innocua excreted from clinically healthy milking cows was detected via faeces. In feedstuffs, only one L. monocytogenes 1/2a isolate from a pasture was obtained. The strain was identical by PFGE to an isolate 1/2a obtained from a pool of milking cow feces that grazed on this farm. No isolation of Listeria spp. was retrieved from the bulk tank milk or drinking water from any of the farms. Listeria innocua was detected in 13 feedstuffs and seven samples of soil from the entry and exit pens of the milking parlour. This is a first local study that confirms the presence of Listeria spp. including L. monocytogenes in healthy cattle and environment of pasture-based dairy farms. These results suggest the potential role that healthy cattle and their sub-products would play as a source of these agents for humans and/or others animals. More detailed studies that include genetic comparison of human and animal isolates are required in order to clearly establish the epidemiological relationship.
