From Jan. 1996 to Oct. 1997, 29 pigs with 40-70 days old showing dyspnea inappetite and polyserositis were collected and carried out necropsy, bacterial culture, histopathology, avidin biotin complex(ABC) stain, fluorescent antibody(FA) test, and electron microscopy. In the study, 4 strains from 3 pigs were isolated from meninges, pleura and synovial fluid and also were identified as Haemophilus parasuis serovar 5. Main histopathological lesions of 29 pigs with polyserositis were frequently composed of fibrinous peritonitis(27), pleurisy(22), interstitial pneumonia(21), fibrinous epicarditis(20), fibrinopurulent meningitis(8) and synovitis(4). By ABC stain, 11/29(37.9%) pigs with polyserositis were confirmed to have H parasuis serovar 5 in the cytoplasm of macrophages and neutrophils in cerebral meninges, epicardium, pleura surface of lung or serosa of spleen. ABC stain(20.8~40.0%) to detect H parasuis serovar 5 in tissues was more sensitive than bacterial culture(10.3%), but less sensitive than FA test(62.5%) using frozen tissues even though the result of 8 cases. By electron microscopy, a bacterium was also detected in the cytoplasm of macrophages in purulent exudate of cerebral meninges. Consequently, we confirmed that H parasuis serovar 5 has been involving to cause pigs with polyserositis and can be detected by FA and ABC stain as reliable diagnostic tools.

Septicemic polyserositis and navel ill associated with Escherichia coli were reported in a 14-day-old male thoroughbred foal. The horse died after showing 12-day history of anorexia, lethargy, lameness and endophthalmus. Grossly, milky yellow abscesses were occupied in umbilicus, umbilical vein and artery. Large amounts of turbid pale yellow fluids were seen in pericardial sac, thoracic and abdominal cavity. Yellowish fibrinous materials were also presented in thoracic and abdominal cavity. Sticky pale yellow fluid and fibrinous materials were filled in stifle joint cavities of both hind limbs. Histologically, fibrino-purulent polyserositis and arthritis were observed. Severe omphalophlebitis with intra-lesional Gram negative bacterial colonies were noted in umbilical vein. Most of mesothelial cells in serosal cavities were severely hypertrophied. Pathogenic E. coli was purely isolated from ascites, thoracic and synovial fluids. Based on the results, the septicemic polyserositis may be originated from the umbilical cord infected with E. coli in this foal.

This paper describes the development of neurological signs of two prematurely born calves four days after birth. The pathological examination results indicated fibrinopurulent polyserositis, including meningoencephalitis with suppurative bronchopneumonia. Bovine viral diarrhea virus subtype 2a was detected in most of the internal organs, and the bacterial colonies cultured from the samples were identified as Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae. Molecular analysis via multilocus sequence typing identified a different K. pneumoniae isolate in each calf-type 14 in calf A and type 65 in calf B. This is the first report identifying K. pneumoniae sequence types 14 and 65 in cattle.

Streptococcus suis has been identified as a major cause of contagious disease in pigs Ithas been isolated worldwide from pigs suffering from meningitis, bronchopneumonia, polyserositis, polyarthritis and septicemia. Two hundred and fifty-five lung samples of slaughter pigs with gross lung lesions were collected from Jan. to Dec. 1995 in southern Chonnam area. Isolation of S suis were tested by biochemical, serological methods and antimicrobial susceptibility. The results were summerrized as follows ; 1. S suis was Isolated from 30 of 254 pneumonic lungs, 14 Isolates were isolated only, 12 were isolated with p. multocida and 4 were isolated with unidentified Gram positive cocci. 2. In biochemical characteristics studies, all isolates were not grown in 6.5% NaCl medium, and most isolates utilized L-leucine-2-naphtylamide and trehalose, didn't utilize sorbitol, ribose and L-arabinose. 3. In slide agglutination test, 6(20%) Isolates were classified as serotype 2, 4(13.3%) isolates were as serotype l/2, 16, 2 and 2(6.6%) were as serotype 1, 4, 13. 4. S suis isolates showed marked susceptibility to amoxicillin, oxacillin, cephalothin and cepoferazone and high resistance to kanamycin, streptomycin, tetracycline and erythromycin.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common Mendelian autoinflammatory disease, characterized by uncontrolled activation of the innate immune system that manifests as recurrent brief fever and polyserositis (e.g., peritonitis, pleuritic, and arthritis). FMF is caused by autosomal recessive mutations of the Mediterranean fever gene, MEFV which encodes the pyrin protein. Although FMF predominantly affects people from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ethnic origins, 3 cases of FMF have been reported in Korea since 2012. We report another case of FMF in Korea in which the patient presented with a month-long fever without serositis. After treatment with colchicine was initiated, the patient's symptoms quickly subsided. The response to colchicine was helpful for diagnosis. We compare the FMF genotypes in Korea with in other countries. Studying FMF cases in Korea will help establish the best MEFV exons to use for screening and diagnosis of Korean FMF.

The purposes of this investigations were survey of the occurred bacterial diseases, development of new animal health drug, guidance to formers on the treatment and control methods of diseases. Some series of investigations have been carried out by microbiological, pathological and serological examinations. The results could be summarized as follows. 1. A total of 953 cases of outbreaked swine diseases have been diagnosed in Clinical pathology laboratories, Bayer Vet Res Institute during 8 years (from 1986 to 1993). The high incidence diseases were colibacillosis, pleuropneumonia, streptococcal infection and pasteurellosis in decreasing order. 2. Pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was the most important respiratory diseases and pasteurellosis by Pasteurella multocide could be confirmed in several cases. 3. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae 50 strains were isolated and identified by biochemical and serological tests. In serotyping test, 22 isolated strains were serotype 5, 21 strains as serotype 2, each 2 strains as serotype 3 and 7 by the coagglutination test. 4. Colibacillosis and edema discase caused by Escherichia coli has been the most predominant outbreaked disease in this investigations. The 100 isolates of E coli strains were sensitive to amikacin, colistin, enrofloxacin, gentamycin and trimethoprim -sulfamethoxazole. 5. Swine erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was confirmed 25 cases as acute septicemic forms. Isolates of E rhusiopathiae were highly sensitive to ampicillin, cephalothin, enrofloxcin, penicillin and tetracycline. 6. The 49 cases of hemorrhagic and necrotic enteritis in piglets were observed and 13 strains of Clostridium perfringens could be isolated and confirmed by biological and serological test. Isolates of Clostridium perfringens type C were highly sensitive to ampicillin, cephalothin, enrofloxacin, penicillin and trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole. 7. The 14 strains of Streptococcus suis type II could be isolated from meningitis of piplets. 8. Polyserositis caused by Haemophilus parasuis and salmonellosis were observed and confirmed. Also Corynebacterial infections and several parasitosis have been also observed in this investigations.

리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼 감염증은 오리와 거위에서 섬유소성 심막염, 간주위염증, 기낭염, 건락성난관염, 뇌막염을 특징으로 하는 급성 또는 만성 패혈증이다. 이 균은 혈청형 또는 분리주별로 병원성에 큰 차이가 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지 이러한 다양한 병원성과 그 이유에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼의 병원성과 serum resistance 상관성을 구명하였다. 우리는 다양한 분리원으로부터 확보한 130주의 균주를 대상으로 serum resistance 특성을 분석하였다. 건강한 오리 인후두에서 분리된 균주들은 혈청에 대한 감수성이 높은 반면에 전신감염을 일으킨 균주들은 강한 serum resistance를 보였다. 또한 우리는 이러한 혈청의 살균효과가 혈청내 보체 성분에 의해 유도됨을 확인하였다. 강한 serum resistance를 유발하는 세균의 표면 유전자와의 관련성을 조사한 결과, 외막 단백질의 AS87_09335, AS87_00480, AS87_05195 유전자가 serum resistance와 관련 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로 serum resistance 특성이 리메렐라 아나티페스티퍼의 병원성 결정 요소 중 하나라는 것을 확인하였다.
