Bacterial Characteristics
This type of bacterial arrangement describes chains of cocci and is commonly seen in Streptococcus species.
What is streptococci?
This bacteria causes mastitis in dairy cattle, leading to significant economic losses in the dairy industry.
What is Staphylococcus aureus?
This is the primary method to prevent infection from Clostridium tetani in horses and cattle
What is vaccination with tetanus antitoxin?
This bacterium causes lumpy jaw in cattle, characterized by swelling and abscess formation in the jaw area.
What is Actinomyces bovis?
This class of antibiotics includes ampicillin and is effective against a broader spectrum of bacteria than natural penicillins.
What are aminopenicillins?
This genus of bacteria is known for its ability to form endospores, allowing survival in extreme conditions.
What is Clostridium?
This zoonotic disease is transmitted through contaminated water and is often associated with gastrointestinal symptoms.
What is leptospirosis?
This antibiotic is often prescribed for treating infections caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in dogs.
What is cephalexin?
This bacterial species is known to cause pyometra in dogs and cats, often requiring surgical intervention.
What is Escherichia coli?
These antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and are effective against a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
What are tetracyclines?
This type of bacteria contains an outer membrane and is typically more resistant to antibiotics compared to gram-positive bacteria.
What are gram-negative bacteria?
This bacterium causes pyoderma in dogs and is often resistant to multiple antibiotics.
What is Staphylococcus pseudintermedius?
To effectively manage outbreaks of respiratory disease caused by Mannheimia hemolytica in cattle, this treatment is commonly employed.
What is the use of macrolides like tilmicosin?
This bacterium causes necrotic laryngitis in cattle and can lead to severe respiratory distress.
What is Fusobacterium necrophorum?
his group of antibiotics is known for its broad-spectrum activity and is often used to treat serious infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
What are carbapenems?
This term describes the minimum concentration of an antibiotic that prevents visible growth of a bacterium.
What is the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)?
This bacteria, often found in contaminated water, can cause severe gastrointestinal disease and is particularly dangerous to immunocompromised individuals.
What is Vibrio cholerae?
This treatment approach is often utilized for severe cases of listeriosis in ruminants caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
What is the administration of high doses of penicillin or ampicillin?
This pathogen is responsible for severe diarrhea in young pigs, often leading to dehydration and mortality.
What is Escherichia coli (enterotoxigenic E. coli)?
This antibiotic class includes drugs like erythromycin and is primarily used to treat infections caused by gram-positive cocci and some gram-negative bacteria.
What are macrolides?
This component of the bacterial cell wall is targeted by β-lactam antibiotics, disrupting cell wall synthesis.
What is peptidoglycan?
This severe condition is caused by Clostridium tetani, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms.
What is tetanus?
This management strategy is critical for preventing and controlling salmonellosis in poultry and swine.
What is biosecurity measures and proper sanitation?
This bacterial species causes 'rain scald' in horses and is associated with moist environments.
What is Dermatophilus congolensis?
This combination antibiotic therapy includes sulfonamides and trimethoprim, and is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections.
What is co-trimoxazole?
