ABSTRACT
Mohammed
AK., Infections by gram + bacteria on laboratory mice, Onl
J Vet Res., 27 (6): 397-402, 2023. Mice of all ages are highly susceptible to gram
positive bacterial infections associated with high mortality and able to infect
surrounding mammals. These include Clostridium
spp., Cl. Piliforme,
Cl. Perfringens, Cl. Difficile, Corynebacteria,
Co. bovis,
Streptococci, Staphylococci S. aureus
and S.xylosus, beta-hemolytic A, B, C and
G sub types,. In contrast, Strep.
Pneumonia is rare in mice. Immune suppression allows infection by microbes
entering entry through trauma or injuries. Author describes, immunity,
environment and lists gram + bacterial genotypes infecting laboratory mice with
particular emphasis on Clostridia spp and Tizzer’s disease.
Keywords: gram positive, bacteria,
laboratory, mice.
