Abstract The current production system involves movement of calves combined with mixing animals, favouring the transmission of respiratory pathogens and increasing the risk of using antimicrobials. The aim of the study was to determine the presence and resistant profiles of Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica and Moraxella in the lungs of calves at arrival to the farm and after treatment with tulathromycin and florfenicol. Thoracic ultrasonography was performed in two batches of calves (n = 65 and 120, age=26±11.0, weight=45-55kg) at arrival, to select 27 calves/batch with lesions from low to severe. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected on arrival (D0), D20 and D34, and also on D7 for the second batch. Pasteurella, Mannheimia and Moraxella were identified by VITEK. Detection of Mycoplasma bovis was performed by PCR. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 18 antimicrobials. Clinical breakpoints were defined by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute. ERIC-PCR was performed in all isolates to assess similarities. Time effect was analysed by MIXED Procedure (SAS). At D0, 16 out of 54 BALFs contained P. multocida (n = 11), M. haemolytica (n = 5) and Moraxella (n = 4). The number of calves positive for primary pathogens decreased (P < 0.001) at D7 and D20, whereas by D34 positive animals leapt up to 21. MIC results demonstrated that P. multocida and M. haemolytica obtained at D0 were pansusceptible. Isolates of P. multocida collected after treatment, exhibited resistance to oxytetracycline, tilmicosin, tulathromycin, danofloxacin and enrofloxacin. ERIC-PCR demonstrated similar profiles of P. multocida and Moraxellain the two batches of calves after D7. Primary pathogens were susceptible to the initial treatment, however M. bovis was detected in all animals after D7. Resistant species appeared to recolonize the lungs after D34. ERIC-profile demonstrated that isolates recovered after treatment were different from those colonizing the lungs at arrival, suggesting recirculation of resistant bacteria between batches.

Abstract Background: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is considered as the major cause of severe respiratory tract infections in calves. Pasteurellosis is a multifactorial respiratory disease, which mainly affect calves within four weeks of weaning. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2017 to April 2018 in and around Gondar town, Amhara Regional State, North West of Ethiopia. The aim of the study was to isolate Mannheimia and Pasteurella species from calves up to six months old, and to assess the associated risk factors with the occurrence of respiratory disease. Sex, age (< 16 weeks and > 16 weeks), body condition status (poor, medium, good), breed (local and cross breed), livelihood (mixed crop and urban), farming systems (semi intensive and intensive), herd size (small medium, and large), maternity pens (present or absent), and method of colostrum feedings (hand bucket and suckling) were the examined risk factors.Results: A total of 84 nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected from calves with any signs of illness related to pasteurellosis. The overall isolation rate of the respiratory pathogens was 64/84 (76.2%) (95% CI=65.7-84.8), with 46.4% of Mannheimia haemolytica and 28.8% Pasteurella multocida isolates. The distribution of pathogens was statistically higher (P< 0.001) in calves with respiratory problems (93.6%; 95% CI= 82.5-98.7) compared to those with no symptoms of respiratory illness (54.1%; 95% CI= 36.9-70.5). Among the examined risk factors age, sex, breed, farming system were found to be potential risk factors and significantly associated with Pasteurella infection of calves (p<0.05). The higher isolation rate of Mannheimia haemolytica indicated that it is the major cause of respiratory disease in the study area.Conclusion: The present finding revealed that pasteurellosis is one of the major diseases of calves in the study area in which M. haemolytica and P. multocida were found to be commonly involved in respiratory infections. Improved farm management including timely feeding of colostrum, appropriate hygiene of the calf house and training of farmers is recommended to prevent and control of respiratory diseases in the study area.

Abstract Background Enzyme-based host depletion significantly improves the sensitivity of clinical metagenomics. Recent studies found that real-time adaptive sequencing of DNA molecules was achieved using a nanopore sequencing machine, which enabled effective enrichment of microbial sequences. However, few studies have compared the enzyme-based host depletion and nanopore adaptive sequencing for microbial enrichment efficiency. Results To compare the host depletion and microbial enrichment efficiency of enzyme-based and adaptive sequencing methods, the present study collected clinical samples from eight children with respiratory tract infections. The same respiratory samples were subjected to standard methods, adaptive sequencing methods, enzyme-based host depletion methods, and the combination of adaptive sequencing and enzyme-based host depletion methods. We compared the host depletion efficiency, microbial enrichment efficiency, and pathogenic microorganisms detected between the four methods. We found that adaptive sequencing, enzyme-based host depletion and the combined methods significantly enriched the microbial sequences and significantly increased the diversity of microorganisms (p value < 0.001 for each method compared to standard). The highest microbial enrichment efficiency was achieved using the combined method. Compared to the standard method, the combined method increased the microbial reads by a median of 113.41-fold (interquartile range 23.32–327.72, maximum 1812), and the number of genera by a median of 70-fold (interquartile range 56.75–86.75, maximum 164). The combined method detected 6 pathogens in 4 samples with a median read of 547, compared to 5 pathogens in 4 samples with a median read of 4 using the standard method. Conclusion The combined method is an effective, easy-to-run method for enriching microbial sequences in clinical metagenomics from sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples and may improve the sensitivity of clinical metagenomics for other host-derived clinical samples.

Abstract Background: Airway inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) is exaggerated and characterized by neutrophil-mediated tissue destruction, but its genesis and mechanisms remain poorly understood. To further define the pulmonary inflammatory response, we conducted a proteome-based screen of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from young children with and without CF experiencing endobronchial infection. Methods: We collected BALF samples from 45 children younger than 5 years and grouped them according to the presence of respiratory pathogens: ≥1 × 105 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL BALF (18 and 12 samples with and without CF, respectively) and &lt;1 × 105 CFU/mL (23 and 15 samples). BALF proteins were analyzed with SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) and H4 ProteinChips®. Proteins were identified and characterized using trypsin digestion, tandem MS, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance MS, immunoblotting, and ELISA. Results: The SELDI-TOF MS BALF profiles contained 53 unique, reliably detected proteins. Peak intensities of 24 proteins differed significantly between the CF and non-CF samples. They included the neutrophil proteins, α-defensin 1 and 2, S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12, as well as novel forms of S100A8 and S100A12 with equivalent C-terminal deletions. Peak intensities of these neutrophil proteins and immunoreactive concentrations of selected examples were significantly higher in CF than non-CF samples. Conclusions: Small neutrophil-derived BALF proteins, including novel C-terminal truncated forms of S100A proteins, are easily detected with SELDI-TOF MS. Concentrations of these molecules are abnormally high in early CF lung disease. The data provide new insights into CF lung disease and identify novel proteins strongly associated with CF airway inflammation.

ABSTRACT Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides from sheep (SMAP29 and SMAP34), rabbits (CAP11 and CAP18), rodents (CRAMP), and humans (FALL39, LL37, and h/CAP18). In a broth microdilution assay against nine ovine pathogens, SMAP29, SMAP34, mouse CRAMP, CAP18, CAP1831, CAP1828, CAP1822, and CAP1821a were the most active, with MICs as low as 0.6 μg/ml. Other cathelicidins were less active. In lambs with pneumonia, 0.5 mg of SMAP29 reduced the concentration of bacteria in both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and consolidated pulmonary tissues. Hence, the antimicrobial activity of SMAP29 suggests that it has applications in the treatment of respiratory tract infections.
