Its focus includes pathogenic mechanisms and processes in infec- tious diseases; methods of diagnosis; and principles of resistance, prevention, and therapy. A working knowl edge of general microbiology is assumed. Beyond serving as a resource for students, the book is also meant to serve as a convenient reference for veteri- narians and veterinary scientists whose main line of activ- ity and expertise is outside the areas of microbiology. ‘The manner of presentation, i.e, sequence and chapter organization, was determined by the way which the editors found most appropriate for teaching their respec- tive subjects: the bacteriology-mycology portion is arranged roughly by host organ systems and other milieus that serve as sources of pathogenic agents. This approach creates a logical place to consider the various environ- ‘ments as microbial habitats. The virology section is orga- nized more along taxonomic lines. Regardless of the user's preference or custom, all topics are readily located ‘with the aid of the table of contents and the alphabetic index. ‘While we have included all agents likely to be encoun- tered in veterinary practice, we have tried to avoid indis- criminate listing of conditions and microorganisms reported only exceptionally, particularly in the contem- porary literature. Our objective is the main current of veterinary microbiology. ‘The purpose of the reference citations at the end of chapters is to guide the reader to more comprehensive sources of information rather than to document chapter content. We have therefore favored recent reviews and monographs. We believe these to be of greatest use since they will lead the interested reader to the primary sources, which considerations of brevity and economy forced us to omit. The content of this book varies somewhat from our ‘earlier work, Review of Veterinary Microbiology (1990). Most notable is the replacement of the chapters dealing with ‘general immunology with one limited to a discussion of immunologic phenomena related to infectious agents. We have also changed the focus of the chapters dealing ‘with antimicrobial agents to one more clinical by the addition of a chapter on the rational choice of antimi- ‘crobial agents in the treatment of an infectious disease. ‘We have added chapters dealing with microbiological diagnosis, and one on vaccines. ‘We gratefully acknowledge Trudi Schuster, whose help Js much appreciated. A special thank you goes to Jill Connor and Irene Herlihy of Blackwell Science, who have been unbelievably patient and extremely helpful in getting our effort to press. DCH. ¥.CL. PART I Introduction 1 Parasitism and Pathogenicity ERNST L. BIBERSTEIN Veterinary microbiology deals with microbial agents affecting animals. Such agents are characterized accord- ing to their ecologic arrangements: parasites live in per- manent association with, and at the expense of, animal hosts; saprophytes normally inhabit the inanimate envi- ronment. Parasites that cause their host no discernible harm are called commensals. The term symbiosis usually refers to reciprocally beneficial associations of organisms. This arrangement is also called rmutualism. Pathogenic organisms are parasites or saprophytes that ‘cause disease. The process by which they establish them- selves in a host individual is infection, but infection need not be followed by clinical illness. The term virulence is sometimes used to mean pathogenicity but sometimes to express degrees of pathogenicity. SOME ATTRIBUTES OF HOST—PARASITE RELATIONSHIPS Many pathogenic microorganisms are host-specific in that they parasitize only one or a few animal species. Streptococcus equt is essentially limited to horses. Others — certain Salmonella types, for example — have a broad host range. The basis for this difference in host specificity is incompletely understood, but it may in part be related to the need for specific attachment devices between host (receptors) and parasite (adhesins). Some agents infect several host species but with varying effects. The plague bacillus Yersinia pestis behaves as a commensal parasite in many, but by no means all, small rodent species but causes fatal disease in rats and humans. Evolutionary pressure may have produced some Of these differences, but not others: Coccidioides immitis, a saprophytic fungus requiring no living host, infects cattle and dogs with equal ease; yet it produces no clini- cal signs in cattle but frequently causes progressive fatal disease in dogs. Potential pathogens vary in their effects on different tissues in the same host. The Escherichia coli that is com- ‘mensal in the intestine can cause severe disease in the ary tract and peritoneal cavity. ‘Some microorganisms that are commensal in one habitat may turn pathogenic in a habitat that is patho- logically altered or otherwise compromised. Thus, oral streptococci, which occasionally enter the bloodstream, may colonize a damaged heart valve and initiate bacte- rial endocarditis. In the absence of such a lesion, however, ‘they would be cleared uneventfully via the macrophage system. Similarly, the frequent entrance of intestinal bac- teria into vascular channels normally leads to their dis- posal by humoral and cellular defense mechanisms. In immuno-incompetent hosts, however, such entrance may lead to fatal septicemia, ‘Transfer to a new host of tissue, or a change in host resistance, are common ways that commensal parasites are converted into active pathogens. Commensalism is the stable form of parasitic existence. It ensures survival of, the microorganism, which active disease would jeopar- dize by killing the host or evoking an active immune response. Either effect deprives the agent of its habitat. Evolutionary selective pressure therefore tends to elimi- nate host-parasite relationships that threaten the survival of either partner. It does so by allowing milder strains of the pathogen, which permit longer survival of the host and thereby facilitate their own dissemination, to replace the more lethal ones. It also favors a resistant host population by screening out highly susceptible stock. ‘The trend is thus toward commensalism. Most agents causing serious infections have alternative modes of sur- vival as commensals in tissues or hosts not subject to disease (e-g., plague) or in the inanimate environment (eg,, coccidioidomycosis). Others cause chronic infec- tions lasting months or years (tuberculosis, syphilis), during which their dissemination to other hosts ensures their survival. CRITERIA OF PATHOGENICITY — KocH’s PosTULaTEs ‘The presence of a microorganism in diseased individuals does not prove its pathogenic significance. To demon- strate the causal role of an agent in a disease, the follow- ing qualifications or “postulates” formulated by Robert Koch (1843-1910) should be satisfied: 1. The suspected agent is present in all cases of the disease. 2. The agent is isolated from such disease and propagated serially in pure culture, apart from its natural host. 3. Upon introduction into an experimental host, the isolate produces the original disease. 4, The agent can be reisolated from this experimental infection. 4 Part I Introduction ‘These postulates are ideals that are not satisfied in all cases of infectious diseases. The presence of some microorganisms cannot be demonstrated at the time of disease, especially in affected tissues (tetanus, botulism). Others lose virulence rapidly after isolation (Leptospira spp), while still others, though indispensable for pathogenesis, require undetermined accessory factors (Pasteurella-related pneumonias), For some human viral pathogens (cytomegalovirus), no experimental host is known, and some agents (e.., Mycobacterium leprae) have not been grown apart from their natural hosts. ELEMENTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE Effective transmission through indirect contact occurs by ingestion; inhalation; or mucosal, cutaneous, or wound contamination. Airborne infection takes place largely via
