The bacterium produces several virulence factors,whose principal ones are lipopolysaccharide and leukotoxin. The latter is cytotoxic only for ruminant leukocytes, a phenomenon that is correlated with its ability to bind and interact with the ruminant β2-integrin Lymphocyte Function-associated Antigen 1. This paper globally reviews all the information available on host-pathogen interactions underlying respiratory mannheimiosis (formerly pasteurellosis), from the stable and the Petri dish to the biochemical cascade of events triggered by the leukotoxin inside ruminant leukocytes. One conclusion can be made: the most widespread cattle respiratory disease with the most important impact on beef production worldwide, is probably due to a tiny ruminant-specific focal variation in the CD18- and/or CD11a-expressing genes.

I am sure I will look back at this experience in all fondness and they will look back and say “Thank goodness that it is over with!” I love you all! iii ABSTRACT: Characterization of the genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance in Mannheimia haemolytica from feedlot cattle Mannheimia haemolytica is an opportunistic pathogen in cattle and the main bacterial agent in bovine respiratory disease. Despite its economic importance, few studies have characterized the genetic diversity of M. haemolytica, particularly from feedlots. Three genotyping techniques (BOX-PCR, (GTG)5-PCR and PFGE) were compared to discriminate M. haemolytica and strains from the family Pasteurellaceae. PFGE was the most discriminating and repeatable, although BOX-PCR was most accurate in clustering isolates together according to species. Mannheimia haemolytica was isolated from nasal swab samples collected from cattle upon entry and exit from two feedlots in southern Alberta. These were characterized by PFGE and antimicrobial susceptibility using a disk-diffusion assay. Select gene determinants were screened for using PCR. PFGE analysis revealed the isolates to be highly diverse.

Abstract | Mannheimia haemolytica causes pneumonic pasteurellosis (mannheimiosis) in ruminants which is the most economically significant infectious disease. Mannheimia belongs to the family Pasteurellaceae, are nonmotile, non- spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-positive and fermentative gram-negative rods or coccobacilli which are frequent respiratory and digestive tract commensals in both domestic and wild animals. They can produce infection in animals with compromised immune states.

Thus, developing antibiotic alternatives such as bacterial therapeutics (BTs) to mitigate BRD is needed. Recent studies suggest that the nasopharyngeal (NP) microbiota, particularly lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB), are important to bovine respiratory health and may be a source of BTs for the inhibition of BRD pathogens.

Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

  • Dynamics and Stabilization of the Rumen Microbiome in Yearling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Dynamics and stabilization of the rumen microbiome in yearling Tibetan sheep Lei Wang1,2,4, Ke Zhang3,4, Chenguang Zhang3, Yuzhe Feng1, Xiaowei Zhang1, Xiaolong Wang 3 & Guofang Wu1,2* The productivity of ruminants depends largely on rumen microbiota. However, there are few studies on the age-related succession of rumen microbial communities in grazing lambs. Here, we conducted 16 s rRNA gene sequencing for bacterial identifcation on rumen fuid samples from 27 Tibetan lambs at nine developmental stages (days (D) 0, 2, 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 360, n = 3). We observed that Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria populations were signifcantly changed during the growing lambs’ frst year of life. Bacteroidetes abundance increased from 18.9% on D0 to 53.9% on D360. On the other hand, Proteobacteria abundance decreased signifcantly from 40.8% on D0 to 5.9% on D360. Prevotella_1 established an absolute advantage in the rumen after 7 days of age. The co-occurrence network showed that the diferent microbial of the rumen presented a complex synergistic and cumbersome relationship. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, indicating that during the colonization process, may occur a phenomenon in which bacteria with close kinship are preferentially colonized. Overall, this study provides new insights into the colonization of bacterial communities in lambs that will beneft the development of management strategies to promote colonization of target communities to improve functional development. Rumen microbes are essential for ruminant health. Ruminants rely upon the action of microbial fermentation in the rumen to digest plant fbers and convert some nutrients that cannot be directly utilized into animal proteins for host utilization1.

BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:221 DOI 10.1186/s12917-017-1141-1 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Evaluation of a multiplex real-time PCR for detection of four bacterial agents commonly associated with bovine respiratory disease in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid Henk J. Wisselink* , Jan B.W.J. Cornelissen, Fimme J. van der Wal, Engbert A. Kooi, Miriam G. Koene, Alex Bossers, Bregtje Smid, Freddy M. de Bree and Adriaan F.G. Antonis Abstract Background: Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, Histophilus somni and Trueperella pyogenes are four bacterial agents commonly associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD). In this study a bacterial multiplex real-time PCR (the RespoCheck PCR) was evaluated for the detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of these four bacterial agents. Results: The analytical sensitivity of the multiplex real-time PCR assay determined on purified DNA and on bacterial cells of the four target pathogens was one to ten fg DNA/assay and 4 × 10−1 to 2 × 100 CFU/assay. The analytical specificity of the test was, as evaluated on a collection of 118 bacterial isolates, 98.3% for M. haemolytica and 100% for the other three target bacteria. A set of 160 BALF samples of calves originating from ten different herds with health problems related to BRD was examined with bacteriological methods and with the RespoCheck PCR. Using bacteriological examination as the gold standard, the diagnostic sensitivities and specificities of the four bacterial agents were respectively between 0.72 and 1.00 and between 0.70 and 0.99. Kappa values for agreement between results of bacteriological examination and PCRs were low for H.
