The present study was conducted to investigate biochemical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of Aeromonas hydrophilia isolated from Jackass penguins (Spheniscus demersus) of zoo and capelins (Mallotus villosus). Seven of Jackass penguins showed anorexia, depression with seriously greenish vomiting for a few days, but resulted in 4 deaths although extensive treatment was carried out by zoo veterinarians. From the 18 samples composed of organs or feces from dead or live Jackass penguins and capelins, 4 (22.2%) Aeromonas hydrophilia were isolated and Bacillus spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus auricularis, Staphylococcus cohnii and Enterobacter aminigenus were also identified. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests of Aeromonas hydrophilia showed that all isolates were susceptible to amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, norfloxacin and trimethoprim- sulfadimethoxazole. However, all isolates were resistant to the following antimicrobials; ampicillin, bacitracin, c ephalothin, cefazolin, noboviocin, penicillin and vancomycin.

Antimicrobial susceptibility, plasmid profiles and distribution of toxA gene were investigated in Pasteurella multocida isolated from pneumonic lung lesions of swine. The bacteria were highly susceptible to norfloxacin, cabenicillin, enrofloxacin and chloramphenicol, but resistant to colistin, sulfamethoxawle/trimethoprime, bacitracin, streptomycin. Sixty percentage of the isolates was resistant more than 2 drugs used in this experiment and 21 strains (23.6%) were resistant more than 5 drugs. This phenomenon meant that they had highly multi-drugs resistance. In the analysis of plasmid profiles, nineteen strains (47.5%) of 40 P multocida isolates harbored plasmids, ranging from 53.3kb to 2.49kb in size and the plasmid profiles could be classified into 5 groups. However, there was no relationship between the size and the profile of plasmid and the resistance pattern of antimicrobial agents. Thirty strains of 39 P multocida isolates (77%) investigated by PCR harbored toxA gene. This result suggested involvement of the ToxA protein expressed from the gene in pneumonic pasteurellosis of swine.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of pneumonic bacteria in lungs and nasal swabs of cattle with respiratory diseases. From 95 pneumonic lungs of slaughtered cattle, 41 (43.2%) positive lungs were yielded with 54 pneumonic bacteria, which corresponded to P. multocida (n = 34), A. pyogenes (n = 14) and P. haemolytica (n = 6). One-hundred sixty seven pneumonic bacteria were isolated from 195 nasal swabs in calves, 64.7% (108 isolates) belonged to P. multocida, 16.2% to A. pyogenes, 13.8% to P. haemolytica and 5.4% to H. somnus. Fifty percents (n = 6) of isolates from pneumonic lungs of calves were identified as P. multocida. All isolates of P. multocida belonged to type A according to hyaluronidase test. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that most isolates of P. multocida and P. haemolytica were sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, fluorophenicol and norfloxacin. The emergence of antimicrobial resistant Pasteurella spp. observed in this study, however, might limit such application. According to histopathological examination, pneumonia by mycoplasma or/and bacteria accounted for 92.8% among 69 pneumonic lungs of slaughtered cattle.

Outbreaks from September 1999 to July 2000 of blackleg in 4 milking and fatting cattle farms in the vicinity of Munkyong(northwestern part of Gyeongbuk province) were investigated biochemical characteristics of isolates and were surveyed epidemiological works during the period of 2 months from August to September 2000. Clostridium chauvoei, the etiological agent of blackleg is a serious pathogen of cattle and sheep causing fever, depression and lameness with high mortality in growing phase of 6 to 18 months old mainly beef cattle. Biochemical and cultural properties of 4 isolated Cl chauvoei were identical to those of reported results and isolates were susceptible to ampicillin, bacitracin, chlorarnphenicol, cephalothin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, norfloxacin, penicillin, and tetracycline, while they were resistant to amikacin, colistin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. In the results of epidemiological survey, outbreak farms that concentrated region of milking or fatting cattle in each sites were so close contact within a radius of about 1km that they are separated only by wire fence or shrub harrier and flies, rodents, wild cats and birds could have the chance to move around between those farms. The origin of the outbreak blackleg were uncertain, but the transmission between farms were mainly through the movement of farm personnel, vehicles which were struck the feces or manures from farm and other mechanical factors such as flies, rodents and birds furthermore occurred 4 farms were not vaccinated. In conclusion, a periodic disinfection, vaccination and quarantine prevention are ideal methods of damage reduction by blackleg.
