Q

what species is salmonella devastating in

A

poultry
equine

17
Q

adhesion structures

A

fimbriae (pili)
5-10 flagella
capsule
LPS (endotoxin) – lipid A – causes gangrene

18
Q

enzymes

A

catalase
superoxide dismutase – protect against ROS
siderophores – rob iron

19
Q

toxins

A

genome or plasmids at pathogenicity islands
T3SS
adhesins
invasins
hemagglutinins
exotoxins

20
Q

what does the intracellular invasion

A

T3SS-1

21
Q

what induces intracellular multiplication in salomella containign vacuoles in the cytosol

A

T3SS-2

22
Q

what is T3SS-1 encoded on, what does it do

A

encoded on SPI-1
inject virulence proteins into host cells, transfer bacterial factors for host cell invasion

23
Q

what is T3SS-2 encoded on, what does it do

A

encoded on SPI-2
transfer effector proteins for intracellular survival and multiplication

24
Q

what helps with intracellular invasion and spread to other cells

A

SCV formation in cytosol
T3SS-2
host actin filament deposition around salmonella using SifA

25
Q

how does reinfection occur

A

bile excretion

26
Q

majority of animals have what kind of infection

Q

disease in old poultry and by which species

A

watery to mucoid yellow diarrhea
anemia
pale shrunken combs and wattles
S gallinarum (fowl typhoid)

29
Q

diagnosis of salmonella

A

fecal cultuer followed by biochemical tests

30
Q

treatment of salmonella

A

replace los fluids, electrolytes, acid base balance

31
Q

why is antimicrobial use controversial

A

cure rate low
risk of inducing carrier animals

32
Q

why would you use antimicrobials

A

systemic infection

33

control and prevention

A

control of fecal contamination

34
Q

vaccines

attenuated live against s gallinarum and s pullorum
killed against s enteritidis in europe

35
Q

medically important s enterica subspecies

A

s enterica subspecies enteric I

36
Q

what organ do they prefer

A

intestines
but can breach intestinal wall to infect other organs
