The demographic data of the respondents and their antibiotics usage were collected. In addition, six different case scenarios were presented with questions to their potential antibiotic usage, active substance/preparation and the dosing scheme. The dosage provided was compared with the dosage information approved by Swissmedic in the information for healthcare professionals and the recommendations of the antibiotic scout. A backward logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between different aspects of antibiotic use and demographic data. The response rate was 94/739 (13 %), 22 of the 94 (23 %) had also participated in the 2013 study. 47/94 (50 %) of the respondents obtained their information from the antibiotic scout. The respondents indicated that they used an antibiotic in 16 %-88 % depending on the case scenario. Neither 3rd nor 4th generation cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones were used in the case scenarios. Dihydrostreptomycin was indicated as a possible antibiotic in a case scenario by 14/94 (15 %) of the respondents. Respondents who had already taken part in the 2013 survey used dihydrostreptomycin significantly more frequently (7/22, 32 % vs. 7/72, 10 %; p = 0,047). 29/81 (36 %) had underdosed compared to the prescribing information and 38/81 (47 %) compared to the antibiotic scout; neither was associated with demographic data.

Various studies have shown a similar pathogen spectrum as in dairy cows, which could not be confirmed in this study. To gather initial data from Switzerland, milk samples from 297 lactating beef cows from 31 herds from the Engadin Valley in the Canton of Grisons were examined bacteriologically. At least one major or minor mastitis pathogen was recovered from at least one individual-quarter or composite sample from 33 % of all cows. The most common major mastitis pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus (8,4 % of cows), Pasteurella multocida (4,1 %), Streptococcus uberis (2 %) and Streptococcus dysgalactiae (1,7 %). Sixteen percent of the cows had at least one blind quarter, but only 32 % of these had been previously detected by the owners. In the second part of the study, milk samples from beef cows with mastitis were examined bacteriologically; the cows originated from various parts of Switzerland and had been presented for veterinary treatment. Pasteurella multocida (22 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (21 %) were the most common pathogens isolated. Antibiograms using microtitration and disk diffusion testing were generated for the Staphylococcus aureus, Pasteurella multocida and Streptococcus uberis strains from both parts of the study. Fifty-six percent of the Staphylococcus aureus strains were resistant to penicillin G. Our results showed that bacteriological examination of a milk sample aids in the diagnosis and allows specific treatment of mastitis in beef cows; this may be further improved with antibacterial susceptibility testing. Our preliminary data for the resistance patterns of mastitis pathogens in beef cows will facilitate evidence-based treatment strategies.","PeriodicalId":21544,"journal":{"name":"Schweizer Archiv fur Tierheilkunde","volume":"165 1","pages":"39-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10802341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 5-year-old, female intact French bulldog was presented with multiple, multifocally distributed, severe hyperkeratotic and papillomatous/verrucous plaques. The dog was on long-term immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporine for meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO). It had an history of atopic dermatitis and calcinosis cutis.

The diagnosis of \"cyclosporine-induced epidermal hyperplasia with secondary pyoderma\" was made. Cyclosporine was discontinued and as an alternative mycophenolate mofetil was started to control the MUO. An antimicrobial treatment was prescribed for three weeks. After four months, the skin lesions had healed completely. To date after 2 years, the dog is still in remission.

Chlamydia caviae was detected from the conjunctiva and vagina/uterus in one juvenile animal together with an intestinal Cryptosporidium wrairi infection. Oocysts were found histologically in the small intestine, which was confirmed by PCR. C. wairi is a parasite adapted to guinea pigs with zoonotic potential, which causes diarrhoea with frequent deaths in larger guinea pig herds. C. caviae is also a zoonotic pathogen and often the cause of conjunctivitis, pneumonia and abortions in guinea pigs and can lead to upper respiratory tract disease, conjunctivitis but also severe pneumonia in humans. The increased death cases and the clinical signs could be traced back to an infection with Cryptosporidium wrairi, complicated by a co-infection of C. caviae. We suspect that the abortions were caused by C. caviae, but since the population was treated with various antibiotics effective against chlamydial infections, it was no longer possible to verify this by PCR testing. Unfortunately, more animals succumbed and finally only two animals of the originally 26 were left. With this case report, we would like to point out to veterinarians that guinea pigs can be an important source of zoonotic infections for various pathogens, especially since they are popular pets and often come into close contact with children where hygiene might not always be strictly followed.</p>","PeriodicalId":21544,"journal":{"name":"Schweizer Archiv fur Tierheilkunde","volume":"165 1","pages":"59-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10522370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The changes can spread to the hoof wall and the sole and finally can lead to exungulation, similar to foot rot.

Radiation therapy is a good method for loco-regional tumor control, especially in inoperable tumors. Since the organs in the pelvic area are sensitive to both acute and late radiation damage (chronic diarrhea, bleeding, strictures or intestinal perforations) and such damage mainly depends on the fraction size, we examined the radiation protocol used in this study with a reduced number of fractions (hypofractionated) regarding effectiveness and side effects. This retrospective study describes 13 dogs with macroscopic anal gland carcinoma that were irradiated with imaging-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy with a hypofractionated curative protocol of 12 × 3,8 Gy. Gross pathology was either in the region of the anal gland and/or in the sublumbar lymph nodes. Ten of the 13 dogs had advanced tumor diseases (stage 3a or 3b). The acute radiation reactions were mild to moderate and had been reported for some of the dogs in a previous study. The mean study time was 572 days (range 105-1292 days). Disease progression was observed or suspected in 7/13 dogs during the study period: local or loco-regional progression occurred in 3 dogs (23 %) and distant metastases in 4 dogs (31 %). Median progression-free survival was 480 days (95 %CI, 223-908), median survival was 597 days (95 %CI, 401-908). One year after treatment, 76,9 % (95 %CI, 53,5-100) of the dogs were still alive. The likelihood of tumor progression was lower with increasing age, otherwise none of the examined tumor or patient factors showed a prognostic influence on progression or survival time. No clinically relevant late side effects were observed apart from slight alopecia, pigmentation changes or dry, scaly skin, Medium to long-term tumor control can be expected in dogs with macroscopic anal gland tumors treated with a moderately hypofractionated radiation therapy protocol (12 × 3,8 Gy).
