Poor Association of Bordetella Bronchiseptica Infection with Kennel Cough in Dogs in Northern India

چکیده
In the study nasal and throat swabs were collected from 78 apparently healthy and 69 cases of kennel cough from dogs of different age, sex, breed and places and analysed for presence of Bordetella bronchiseptica through bacterial isolation and multiplex PCR (mPCR). The pathogen could be isolated from an apparently healthy Labrador bitch while with mPCR, 7 (4.76%, 4 from healthy dogs and 3 from sick dogs) samples were positive for genus specific amplicon and three (2.04%, one from healthy and two from sick Labrador bitches) were positive for B. bronchiseptica species specific amplicons. The kennel cough had no significant association (p, 0.49) with the detection of B. bronchiseptica but sex (p, 0.03) appeared to be the significant predisposing factors associated with the infection.

متن کاملPassively released heme from hemoglobin and myoglobin is a potential source of nutrient iron for Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Colonization by Bordetella bronchiseptica results in a variety of inflammatory respiratory infections, including canine kennel cough, porcine atrophic rhinitis, and a whooping cough-like disease in humans. For successful colonization, B. bronchiseptica must acquire iron (Fe) from the infected host. A vast amount of Fe within the host is sequestered within heme, a metalloporphyrin which is coord...
