The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The antimicrobial resistant characteristics both of the cellular and molecular levels of Escherichia coli in broilers were performed by disk diffusion test and polymerase chain reaction technique. Specific primers for the aadA, aac(3)-IV, cmlA, cat1, tetA, sul1, SHV, CITM, ereA and dhfrV gene were used to detect resistance to gentamicin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, cephalothin, ampicillin, erythromycin, sulfonamide+trimetroprim. The 30 samples of E. coli were found to be 100% antimicrobial disk resistant to tetracycline, ampicillin and erythromycin and revealed a 90%, 93.3% and 73.3% resistant gene to tetA, CITM and ereA, respectively. While resistance to 73.3% cephalothin and 26.7% sulfonamide+trimethoprim was revealed …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The characteristic of erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes of a captive Irrawaddy river dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) was described using blood sample collected from caudal vein. By morphological and ultrastructural studies, erythrocytes showed similar size as in humans and contained cytoplasmic electron dense hemoglobin without nucleus. Multilobulated granulocytes composed of cytoplasmic round-to-elongated granulecontaining neutrophils and round-to-oval shaped granule-bearing eosinophils while basophil was very scanty. Monocytes displayed azulophilic granules and vacuolated cytoplasm with pseudopodia. Lymphocytes showed equal amounts of heterochromatin and euchromatin with numerous mitochondria in their cytoplasm. Thrombocytes, the smallest circulating blood cells, presented small pseudopodia with many cytoplasmic microtubular structures. By …

Isolation Of Actinobacillus Pleuropneumoniae Serotype 15-Like Strain From A Porcine Tonsil In Thailand: A Case Report, Walaiporn Tonpitak

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

An isolate of Actinobacillus (A.) pleuropneumoniae from porcine tonsil samples was identified as serotype 15-like strain, which was previously isolated in Australia, North America and Japan. It was characterized by biochemical testing performed for Actinobacillus sp. and confirmed as A. pleuropneumoniae by PCR and nucleotide sequencing of 16s rDNA. The isolate contains apxIBD, apxIICA, apxIIIBD, apxIIICA and apxIVA gene. The result of PCR-REA of apxIVA method was identical as A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 15 strain HS143 reference strain. Therefore this isolate is proposed as A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 15- like strain and the first report of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 15-like strain in …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The association between severity of heart disease and serum N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was determined in dogs presented with respiratory distress. Four groups of dogs were divided into healthy control (n=11), heart failure (n=58), heart disease without heart failure (n=17) and respiratory disease (n=20). Serum NT-proBNP concentrations were measured with an ELISA designed for using in dogs. Dirofilaria antigen tests were detected in dogs with heart disease or heart failure. Serum NT-proBNP concentrations of dogs with heart failure (2,977±184 pmol/l) were significantly higher than dogs with heart disease (611±46 pmol/l), respiratory disease (583±52 pmol/l) or physically healthy (426±32 …

Analysis On The Polymorphism And The Genetic Effects On Some Economic Traits Of Mx Gene S631n Mutation Site In Chicken, Luan De Qin, Bin Chang Guo, Wei Sheng Zhong, Liu Yan, Hong Chen Guo

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

PCR-RFLP technique was performed to detect the distribution differences of the resistant and sensitive alleles of S631N site of Mx gene in 8 chicken populations. The results showed the average frequencies of resistant allele A and sensitive allele G were 0.4995 and 0.5005, respectively, and the average value of observed heterozygosis and Shannon’s index were 0.6163 and 0.5232. Three populations were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this site (p>0.05). The Ewens-Watterson test indicated that this site was neutral in all the other populations except for Rugao. The dendrograms based on allele frequency divided the 8 populations into 3 clusters, which …

The Contribution Of Active Efflux In Reduced Susceptibilities To Copper Sulfate And Zinc Chloride In Escherichia Coli Isolates From Swine, Chailai Koowatananukul, Nisit Chansong, Rungtip Chuanchuen

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A hundred-eighty Escherichia coli isolates from swine were tested for minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 9 antimicrobials and two heavy metals copper sulfate and zinc chloride. All the E. coli isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic and 175 (97.2%) isolates were multi-drug resistant. Forty antibiotic resistance patterns were identified, of which the most common pattern was AMP-CHP-CIP-ERY-GEN-STR-SUL-TET-TRI (13.3%). All the isolates formed one large population of susceptibility to copper sulfate and zinc chloride at the concentrations of 6.4-12.8 mM and 3.2-6.4 mM, respectively. Exposure to copper sulfate and zinc chloride at sublethal concentration did not change the susceptibility. …

Blood pressure, urinary protein creatinine (UPC) ratio and oxidative stress (plasma melondialdehyde, urinary melondialdehyde creatinine ratio; UMDA/Cr, the activities of red blood cell catalase; RBC-CAT and red blood cell glutathione) were studied in 42 dogs with urolithiasis and 14 control healthy dogs. The types and location of calculi were defined. The results showed that calculi preferentially found in male and female dogs were calcium oxalate and struvite, respectively. In female, calculi found mostly at urinary bladder while in male, they could be found in either urinary bladder and/or urethra. Dogs with urolithiasis were normotensive. However, UPC ratio was higher significantly …

The present study was performed to investigate the in vivo fertility of frozen-thawed (FT) boar semen after intra-uterine (IUI) and deep intra-uterine insemination (DIUI) in spontaneously-ovulating sows. A total of 48 weaned sows were included. The sows were divided into three groups, i.e. natural mating (NM) (n=30), IUI (n=9) and DIUI (n=9). In the IUI and DIUI groups, the sows were inseminated twice, at 24 and 36 h after the detection of oestrous by IUI with 2x109 spermatozoa/dose or DIUI with 1x109 spermatozoa/dose. Transrectal ultrasonography was used to determine the time of ovulation after insemination. The results revealed that the …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Comparison of analgesic efficacy of 3 non-steroidal analgesic drugs (carprofen, vedaprofen and tepoxalin) were performed in 40 dogs after ovariohysterectomy. Oral administration of placebo (sugar pill), carprofen (4.4 mg/kg/day), vedaprofen (0.5 mg/kg/day), or tepoxalin (20 mg/kg/day) for 3 days were performed in dogs recovering from ovariohysterectomy. Numerical pain scores (descriptive and composite pain scores) were measured in blinded fashion by three investigators at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 hrs following the recovery. The average descriptive and composite pain scores of dogs treated with carprofen or tepoxalin were significantly lower than that of the control group (p<0.05), however, no significance difference was found between the vedaprofen-treated and control groups (p>0.05). Serum …

In order to isolate local strain of spore-forming bacteria having probiotic properties, 164 isolates of the sporeforming bacteria were isolated from 152 samples including duodenum, jejunum, ileum and cecum collected from 38 local backyard chickens raised in the northern part of Thailand. These isolates were preliminarily screened for antibiotic susceptibility and antimicrobial acitivity. Only antibiotic-susceptible isolates with antimicrobial activity were further characterized for the ability to resist certain harsh environments. Identification of the potential isolates was carried out by morphological and biochemical studies, followed by analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. Of these isolates, only one strain designated T3-1 showed antimicrobial …
