ABSTRACT

According to the Brazilian National Program for the Control and Eradication of Animal Brucellosis and Tuberculosis (PNCEBT), the routine tests for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in the country are the simple intradermal tuberculin test (SITT) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), the caudal fold test and the comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT). The latter is also used as a confirmatory test. A group of 53 animals from three dairy herds in a focal area for bovine tuberculosis, that were submitted to depopulation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, were submitted to the CITT. Tissues were cultured and the resulting colonies were confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Among the 53 animals analyzed using the CITT, 32 (60.4%) were negative, 14 (26.4%) were positive and seven (13.2%) results were inconclusive. The CITT detected 11 of the 39 animals with culture-confirmed M. bovis infection as positive. Among the total of 14 uninfected animals based on cultures, the CBT detected eight as negative. Thus, the CITT demonstrated sensitivity of 28.2% and specificity of 57.1% for the population sampled. A total of 24/32 (75.0%) of the animals with negative CITT results were culture positive (confirmed by PCR) and were considered false negatives based on the CITT. The maintenance of these false-negative animals in herds has serious implications for the control of the disease, since they can be a source of infection. The addition of complementary tests could help identify such animals and increase the odds of diagnostic success.(AU)


No Brasil, segundo o Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação da Brucelose e Tuberculose Animal (PNCEBT), do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA), os testes de rotina para o diagnóstico de tuberculose bovina são o teste cervical simples (TCC), o teste da prega caudal (TPC) e o teste cervical comparativo (TCC), sendo que o último também é utilizado como teste confirmatório. Um grupo de 53 animais oriundos de três rebanhos leiteiros de área de foco para tuberculose bovina que foram submetidos a vazio sanitário no Rio Grande do Sul foi submetido ao TCC. Os tecidos destes animais foram cultivados e as colônias resultantes confirmadas por PCR e sequenciamento de DNA. Dos 53 animais analisados no TCC, 32 (60,4%) foram negativos, 14 (26,4%) positivos e sete (13,2%) inconclusivos, com base no PNCEBT. O TCC detectou como positivos 11 dos 39 animais com infecção por M. bovis confirmada por cultivo. Do total de 14 animais não infectados, baseado na cultura, o TCC detectou oito como negativos. Assim, o TCC apresentou, para a população amostrada, sensibilidade de 28,2% e especificidade de 57,1%. Um total de 24/32 (75,0%) dos animais negativos ao TCC foi positivo no cultivo (confirmado por PCR), sendo considerados falso-negativos ao TCC. A manutenção destes animais falso-negativos nos rebanhos tem sérias implicações para o controle da enfermidade, já que os mesmos podem ser fonte de infecção. A adição de testes complementares poderia auxiliar na identificação destes animais, aumentando a cobertura diagnóstica.(AU)

ABSTRACT

La campilobacteriosis genital bovina es una enfermedad reproductiva que afecta la producción bovina. Es causada por las subespecies de Campylobacter fetus, C. fetus fetus (Cff) y C. fetus venerealis (Cfv). El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la presencia de C. fetus en fluidos genitales mediante cultivo bacteriológico e inmunofluorescencia directa (IFD) y comparar los resultados. Se conformaron 2 grupos de 6 vaquillonas y 5 toros cada uno. Uno se infectó con Cff (grupo Cff) y el otro con Cfv (grupo Cfv). Dos vaquillonas y 2 toros sin infectar conformaron el grupo control. Periódicamente se tomaron muestras de mucus cervicovaginal y fluido prepucial, las que se procesaron por cultivo e IFD. En el grupo Cff se infectó el 100 % de las vaquillonas y el 80 % de los toros, mientras que en el grupo Cfv se infectó el 50 y el 60 %, respectivamente. Los valores de concordancia (Kappa) obtenidos al comparar las técnicas diagnósticas fueron de 0,57 para las vaquillonas del grupo Cff y 0,52 para las del grupo Cfv, y para los toros fueron de 0,17 y 0,27, respectivamente. En las vaquillonas, la IFD arrojó más resultados positivos que el cultivo, un 5,6 % más para el grupo Cff y un 7,4 % más para el grupo Cfv. El menor porcentaje de resultados positivos por IFD en los toros, un 40 % menos que por cultivo para el grupo Cff y un 5,3 % menos para el grupo Cfv, podría deberse a un muestreo incorrecto. Los valores de Kappa indican una concordancia moderada en las vaquillonas y baja en los toros.


Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is a reproductive disease that affects cattle production. It is caused by Campylobacter fetus subspecies, C. fetus fetus (Cff) and C. fetus venerealis (Cfv). The aim of this study was to identify the presence of C. fetus in genital fluids by bacteriological culture and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and to compare the results. Two groups of 6 heifers and 5 bulls, one infected with Cff (Cff group) and the other with Cfv (Cfv group) were formed. Two heifers and 2 bulls, all of them uninfected, made up the control group. Samples of cervicovaginal mucus and preputial fluid were processed by culture and DIF. In the Cff group, 100 % of the heifers and 80 % of the bulls were infected, while in the Cfv group, 50 % of the heifers and 60 % of the bulls were infected. The degree of agreement (Kappa values) from benchmarking diagnostic techniques were 0.57 for heifers in the Cff group and 0.52 for heifers in the Cfv group, whereas the values for bulls were 0.17 and 0.27, respectively. Heifers yielded more positive results in the DIF assay than in the culture, exhibiting 5.6 % increase in the Cff group and 7.4 % in the Cfv group. The lowest percentage of positive results for DIF in bulls, 40 % less for the Cff group and 5.2 % for the Cfv group, could be due to improper sampling. Kappa values showed moderate agreement for the heifers and low for the bulls.

ABSTRACT

O exame bacteriológico é um dos principais parâmetros que auxiliam o diagnóstico e manuseio da infecção respiratória dos pacientes com Fibrose Cística (FC). Os microrganismos que colonizam e infectam o paciente fibrocístico determinam o tratamento, a qualidade de vida, as perspectivas para o transplante e a sua sobrevida global. A identificação precisa de patógenos respiratórios é essencial para o tratamento da infecção, seja como guia para o uso adequado de antibióticos por longos períodos para os pacientes com infecção bacteriana crônica ou para a aplicação adequada de medidas de controle de infecção. Embora exista um espectro limitado de patógenos respiratórios classicamente associados à doença respiratóriana FC, um número crescente de microrganismos vem sendo reconhecido como potenciais agentes patogênicos. O espectro de patógenos em FC varia com a idade do paciente, mas, de uma forma geral, é bem estabelecido na literatura que existem quatro bactérias “clássicas”: Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e o complexo B. cepacia (CBC)...


The bacteriological culture is one of the main parameters that support the diagnosis and management of the respiratoryinfection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The microorganisms that colonize and infect CF patients determine the treatment,quality of life, the lung transplant possibility and their overall survival. The accurate identification of respiratory pathogensis essential for the treatment of infection, either to guide the appropriate use of antibiotics for long periods to patientswith chronic bacterial infection or to the proper implementation of infection control measures. Although there is a limitedspectrum of respiratory pathogens classically associated with the respiratory disease in CF, an increasing number of microorganismshas been recognized as potential pathogens. The spectrum of pathogens in CF varies with the patients age but,in general, it is well established in the literature that there are four "classic" pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilusinfluenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the B. cepacia complex (Bcc)...
