“…Dolieslager et al (2011) investigated the oral microbiota of three healthy cats and five cats with feline chronic gingivostomatitis, and Neisseria was only found in healthy cats. A more comprehensive NGS-based approach has characterized the oral microbiota of 11 healthy cats, and once more, Neisseria was a predominant taxon and part of the core microbiome (Sturgeon et al, 2014).…”

“…12 This organism can cause opportunistic infections in cats, including pneumonia, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, gingivostomatitis, abscess and osteonecrosis. 13,14 Cat bites and scratches can result in Pasteurella infections in humans. Pasteurella species are isolated from over 75% of the cat bites .Wilson and Ho 15 and Giordano et al 12 reviewed the clinical features and outcomes of Pasteurella multocida infection in humans.…”

CitationHariharan H, Hariharan SH. Zoonotic bacteria associated with cats. Vet Med Open J. 2017; 2(3): 68-75. doi: 10.17140/VMOJ-2-118 ABSTRACT Background: There are several bacterial pathogens, including Bartonella, and Pasteurella that have been known to cause human infections from contact with cats. Recently, certain bacteria have emerged as causes of infection in cats, resulting in transmission to humans. Objectives: This review presents updated information on the zoonotic bacterial pathogens associated with cats, with special emphasis on recent reports. Results: Presently, an increase in the incidence of cat-associated Yersinia pestis human infections in the western USA has become a concern. In addition, infections due to Mycobacterium bovis, and Brucella abortus, are being recognized. Also, a number of human infections due to Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Salmonella from cats have been documented worldwide. In addition, spread of bacteria resistant to antimicrobial drugs from cats is becoming a possibility. Conclusion: Updated information shows that more zoonotic bacteria than previously recognized are associated with cats worldwide. Immunocompromised persons and young children are particularly at a risk of developing infection from household cats which are allowed to roam around outdoors. It is important to incorporate environmental and animal contact considerations into patient care. With proper handling and precautions, cats can help establish valuable humananimal bonds.

Bacterial microbiome in the nose of healthy cats and in cats with nasal disease

et al. 2017

BackgroundTraditionally, changes in the microbial population of the nose have been assessed using conventional culture techniques. Sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes demonstrated that the human nose is inhabited by a rich and diverse bacterial microbiome that cannot be detected using culture-based methods. The goal of this study was to describe the nasal microbiome of healthy cats, cats with nasal neoplasia, and cats with feline upper respiratory tract disease (FURTD).Methodology/Principal findingsDNA was extracted from nasal swabs of healthy cats (n = 28), cats with nasal neoplasia (n = 16), and cats with FURTD (n = 15), and 16S rRNA genes were sequenced. High species richness was observed in all samples. Rarefaction analysis revealed that healthy cats living indoors had greater species richness (observed species p = 0.042) and Shannon diversity (p = 0.003) compared with healthy cats living outdoors. Higher species richness (observed species p = 0.001) and Shannon diversity (p<0.001) were found in middle-aged cats in comparison to healthy cats in different age groups. Principal coordinate analysis revealed separate clustering based on similarities in bacterial molecular phylogenetic trees of 16S rRNA genes for indoor and outdoor cats. In all groups examined, the most abundant phyla identified were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, 375 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified. In healthy cats and cats with FURTD, Moraxella spp. was the most common genus, while it was unclassified Bradyrhizobiaceae in cats with nasal neoplasia. High individual variability was observed.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that the nose of cats is inhabited by much more variable and diverse microbial communities than previously shown. Future research in this field might help to develop new diagnostic tools to easily identify nasal microbial changes, relate them to certain disease processes, and help clinicians in the decision process of antibiotic selection for individual patients.
