Abstract

A recent study conducted by Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France revealed the transmission of a multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clone between animal hospitals in different countries. The research highlighted the contamination of a French small animal ICU with this pathogen, which showed heteroresistance to antibiotics and belonged to the International Clone 2 commonly found in human health settings. The findings suggest a high adaptation of this lineage to healthcare settings and raise questions about genetic determinants enabling adaptation to host and abiotic conditions.

Abstract

Background: The study was planned to show the status of indoor microorganisms and the status of the reduction device in the military dog clinic. Methods: Airborne microbes were analyzed according to the number of daily patient canines. For identification of bacteria, sampled bacteria was identified using VITEK®2 and molecular method. The status of indoor microorganisms according to the operation of the ventilation system was analyzed. Results: Airborne bacteria and fungi concentrations were 1000.6 ± 800.7 CFU/m3 and 324.7 ± 245.8 CFU/m3. In the analysis using automated identification system, based on fluorescence biochemical test, VITEK®2, mainly human pathogenic bacteria were identified. The three most frequently isolated genera were Kocuria (26.6%), Staphylococcus (24.48%), and Granulicatella (12.7%). The results analyzed by molecular method were detected in the order of Kocuria (22.6%), followed by Macrococcus (18.1%), Glutamicibacter (11.1%), and so on. When the ventilation system was operated appropriately, the airborne bacteria and fungi level were significantly decreased. Conclusion: Airborne bacteria in the clinic tend to increase with the number of canines. Human pathogenic bacteria were mainly detected in VITEK®2, and relatively various bacteria were detected in molecular analysis. A decrease in the level of bacteria and fungi was observed with proper operation of the ventilation system.

Abstract

A recent study conducted at a small animal hospital in Uppsala, Sweden, examined the environmental bacterial load during surgical and ultrasound procedures. The researchers aimed to identify and quantify environmental bacteria, compare the bacterial load to threshold values used in human healthcare facilities, assess clonal dissemination, and investigate factors associated with bacterial load during surgery. The study found that the bacterial load in the operating room and ultrasound room was generally low, indicating a low risk of transmission of infectious agents. However, bacteria carrying genes conveying resistance to disinfectants were detected, suggesting an increased risk for healthcare-associated infections. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Calf mortality constitutes a substantial loss for agriculture economy-based countries and is also a significant herd problem in developed countries. However, the occurrence and frequency of responsible gastro-intestinal (GI) pathogens in severe newborn diarrhea is still not well known. We aimed to determine the seasonal and age-associated pathogen distribution of severe diarrhea in newborn calves admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Erciyes University animal hospital over a year. Fecal samples were collected during the ICU admissions, and specimens were subjected to a diarrheal pathogen screening panel that included bovine coronavirus (BCoV), Cryptosporidium spp., ETEC K99+, and bovine rotavirus, using RT-PCR and conventional PCR methods. Further isolation experiments were performed with permissive cell cultures and bacterial enrichment methods to identify the clinical importance of infectious pathogen shedding in the ICU. Among the hospitalized calves aged less than 45 days old, the majority of calves originated from small farms (85.9%). The pathogen that most frequently occurred was Cryptosporidium spp. (61.5%) followed by rotavirus (56.4%). The frequency of animal admission to ICU and GI pathogen identification was higher during the winter season (44.9%) when compared to other seasons. Most calves included in the study were 1–6 days old (44.9%). Lastly, co-infection with rotavirus and Cryptosporidium spp. occurred more frequently than other dual or multi-infection events. This study was the first to define severe diarrhea—causing GI pathogens from ICU admitted newborn calves in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Veterinary clinics and animal hospitals need to be able to meet patient expectations at the highest level and increase their level of satisfaction. It plays an important role in the profitability, productivity and sustainability of animal health service providers. In this context, the aim of the study is to develop a measurement tool about the satisfaction of patient owners and to carry out the validity and reliability study of this measurement tool. The construct validity of the Patient Ownership Satisfaction Criteria Scale (HSMK-Ö), Patient Ownership Satisfaction Rating Scale (HSMD-A) and Veterinary Clinical Satisfaction Scale (VKHM-Ö). The power analysis (80.121% strength) performed prior to starting the study was applied to 212 patients whose outcome was determined. To ensure structural validity; Cronbach alpha (α) coefficient was used in reliability analyzes. Factor analysis was applied for validity analysis. HSMK-Ö; HSMD-A; VKHM-Ö items were identified as a one-factor structure as a result of the Varimax rotation method. In the developed scales, the cronbach alpha (α) reliability coefficients calculated for 14 items in HSMK-E, 8 items in HSMDA and 18 items in VKHM-Ö were 0.759; 0.936; 0.778. When the total variance explained, there is only one factor in HSMK-Ö and VKHM-Ö in HSMD-A, and this measured value is 58.06% for each scale; 61.375%; 70.39% can be said to be measured. It can be said that HSMK-Ö, HSMD-A and VKHM-Ö measuring instruments are valid and reliable. Expanding the utilization of of satisfaction studies in patients with different sample groups is proposed to be held in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

20. Assessing stress in dogs during a visit to the veterinary clinic: Correlations between dog behavior in standardized tests and assessments by veterinary staff and owners.

Lind, Ann-Kristina, Hydbring-Sandberg, Eva, Forkman, Björn, and Keeling, Linda J.

Abstract

A visit to a veterinary clinic can be very stressful for the dog, and stress may interact with pain. The aim of this study was to observe the behavior of dogs in a veterinary clinic and to correlate it with subjective stress assessments by different persons. Systems have already been developed to assess pain in dogs. We tested the behavior of 105 dogs, sampled from 233 dog owners who completed our questionnaire and whose dogs were patients at the clinic. The dog owner, the test leader, the nurse, and the veterinarian were each asked to assess if the dog was experiencing pain or was stressed and to evaluate, overall, how the dog experienced the visit. Three behavior tests were also carried out to describe the dog's reaction in the veterinary clinic: a “social contact” test, a “play” test, and a “treat” test. The play and treat tests were carried out both inside and outside the veterinary clinic to see if the dogs reacted differently in the 2 situations. Agreement between observers was good to excellent but generally better when assessing pain than stress. Dogs rated as more stressed were significantly less likely to engage in social contact with an unfamiliar person ( P < 0.0001). They were significantly more willing to play and eat a treat outside the veterinary clinic compared to inside the clinic ( P < 0.001), implying that the dogs themselves experienced inside the clinic as being more negative. The results also indicated that the type of relationship the owner has with the dog may influence the dog's behavior during the clinical examination. The good agreements between the different measures in this study suggest that there is potential for a system to be developed to assess the extent to which the dog is stressed in the clinic.

Systems have already been developed to assess pain in dogs. We tested the behavior of 105 dogs, sampled from 233 dog owners who completed our questionnaire and whose dogs were patients at the clinic. The dog owner, the test leader, the nurse, and the veterinarian were each asked to assess if the dog was experiencing pain or was stressed and to evaluate, overall, how the dog experienced the visit. Three behavior tests were also carried out to describe the dog's reaction in the veterinary clinic: a “social contact” test, a “play” test, and a “treat” test. The play and treat tests were carried out both inside and outside the veterinary clinic to see if the dogs reacted differently in the 2 situations. Agreement between observers was good to excellent but generally better when assessing pain than stress. Dogs rated as more stressed were significantly less likely to engage in social contact with an unfamiliar person (P < 0.0001). They were significantly more willing to play and eat a treat outside the veterinary clinic compared to inside the clinic (P < 0.001), implying that the dogs themselves experienced inside the clinic as being more negative. The results also indicated that the type of relationship the owner has with the dog may influence the dog's behavior during the clinical examination. The good agreements between the different measures in this study suggest that there is potential for a system to be developed to assess the extent to which the dog is stressed in the clinic., A visit to a veterinary clinic can be very stressful for the dog, and stress may interact with pain.

Abstract

The present article examines over 63,000 medical records belonging to the Veterinary Hospitals of the Universities of Bologna, Torino, and Padova, all in Northern Italy, and relative to dogs (approximately 50,000), cats (approximately 12,000), and companion horses (slightly less than 1,000). The animals of the three species were divided into age classes and categorized per sex into males, females, and neutered individuals. The mean age at visit and the effects of age classes and category (analyzed via ANOVA) are presented and discussed. The data indicate that many animals are presented to the hospitals either in the early phases of their life (presumably for vaccination and, in cats and dogs, gonadectomy) or in the advanced age (over 10 years in dogs, over 15 years in cats, and over 17 years in horses). The records of very old individuals of the three species are also reported. On the whole, the results suggest that a growing population of mature to old domestic carnivores or companion horses reaches ages that were considered exceptional only a few years ago. The data also testify an evolution in the animal–owner relationship and a renewed respect for the value of life in companion domestic mammals.

Abstract

Two veterinary personnel in Japan were infected with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) while handling a sick cat. Whole-genome sequences of SFTSV isolated from the personnel and the cat were 100% identical. These results identified a nosocomial outbreak of SFTSV infection in an animal hospital without a tick as a vector.

Abstract

Background: The study was planned to show the status of indoor microorganisms and the status of the reduction device in the military dog clinic., Methods: Airborne microbes were analyzed according to the number of daily patient canines. For identification of bacteria, sampled bacteria was identified using VITEK®2 and molecular method. The status of indoor microorganisms according to the operation of the ventilation system was analyzed., Results: Airborne bacteria and fungi concentrations were 1000.6 ± 800.7 CFU/m 3 and 324.7 ± 245.8 CFU/m 3 . In the analysis using automated identification system, based on fluorescence biochemical test, VITEK®2, mainly human pathogenic bacteria were identified. The three most frequently isolated genera were Kocuria (26.6%), Staphylococcus (24.48%), and Granulicatella (12.7%). The results analyzed by molecular method were detected in the order of Kocuria (22.6%), followed by Macrococcus (18.1%), Glutamicibacter (11.1%), and so on. When the ventilation system was operated appropriately, the airborne bacteria and fungi level were significantly decreased., Conclusion: Airborne bacteria in the clinic tend to increase with the number of canines. Human pathogenic bacteria were mainly detected in VITEK®2, and relatively various bacteria were detected in molecular analysis. A decrease in the level of bacteria and fungi was observed with proper operation of the ventilation system., Competing Interests: All authors have no conflict of interest including financial or consultant, institutional and other relationship in this study., (© 2020 The Authors.)

The data indicate that many animals are presented to the hospitals either in the early phases of their life (presumably for vaccination and, in cats and dogs, gonadectomy) or in the advanced age (over 10 years in dogs, over 15 years in cats, and over 17 years in horses). The records of very old individuals of the three species are also reported. On the whole, the results suggest that a growing population of mature to old domestic carnivores or companion horses reaches ages that were considered exceptional only a few years ago.
