ecoli Flashcards
Lack of colostrum is an important predisposing factor in diseases in young animals caused by E. coli.
T
Certain verotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains can be zoonotic
T
O157:H7
Detection of virulence factors of E.Coli is important in the diagnostics diseases caused by E.coli
T
Antigen detection and Fimbria Proteins by ELISA
E. coli can cause haemorrhagic enteritis of humans
T
faeces of asymptomatic cattle can be the source of infection with zoonotic Escherichia coli
T
Per os antibiotics are recommended for the treatment of neonatal coli diarrhoea of calves
T
for septicaemia is too late
E. coli septicemia is caused by verotoxigenic strains
T
Fimbria can be virulence factors of E. coli strains
T
LT toxin can be virulence factor of some E. coli strains
T
Enterotoxigenic E. coli strains cause diarrhoea in neonatal animals
T
The enterotoxigenic E. coli strains cause neonatal diarrhoea in calves and piglets
T
The enterotoxins of E. coli inhibit the protein synthesis
F
cause fluid accumulation in the gut
The protein synthesis is inhibited by verotoxins
The enterotoxigenic E. coli strains have fimbria as adhesins
T
The verotoxigenic E. coli strains cause septicaemia of calves
F
SEPEC Septicaemic E.coli
Endotoxins are the virulence factors of E. coli causing septicaemia
T
Diarrhoea Exotoxins
Septicaemia Endotoxins released in the blood upon death of ecoli → Coagulopathy → vascular damage → DIC → endotoxin Shock Fever
Fimbria is the virulence factor of enterotoxic E. coli strains
T
Verotoxins are the virulence factors of enterotoxic E. coli strains
F
Fimbria is the virulence factor of enteropathogenic E. coli strains
F
Enteropathogenic E. coli strains mainly damage the villi
T
ETEC no villi damage
EPEC damage
EHEC damage
E. coli strains always cause generalized infections in animals
F
Enterotoxins of E. coli cause severe inflammation in the small intestines
F
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains cause neonatal diarrhoea in calves and piglets
F
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains damage the microvilli
T
Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains can cause disease in pigs
T
oedema disease of swine
sometimes coli diarrhoea of weaned piglets
