Infectious agents causing prehension disorders
Actinomyces bovis
Pathogenesis
Pyogranulomatous osteomyelitis
Bony structure distension + destruction
Penetration into mandible/maxilla
Cause
Foreign body Eg. grass awns
Impacted feed
Via dental alveoli / damaged mucosa
Characteristics
G+ve branching rods
Facultative anaerobic
Normal oral flora (endogenous)
Occasionally A. israelii
Diagnosis
Fine needle aspirate - soft lesion
Cytology / gram stain
Clinical signs
Physical impairment of function
Inability to chew
Teeth dislodgement
Mandibular fractures
Discharging fistula tracts
Oral anaerobes
Characteristics
Endogenous non-spore forming anaerobes
Subgingival flora
Gram +ve: Peptostrepyococcus ;
Gram -ve: Prophyromonas; prevotella; fusobacterium
Niches
Periodontal pocket
Pathogenesis
Gingivitis
--> periodontitis
Irreversible inflammation - tooth supporting structures
Periodontal soft tissue damage
Alveolar bone loss
Predominant gram -ve
Reversible gingiva inflammation
Predominant gram+ve
Diagnosis
Clinical signs
Marked reddened mucous membranes
Gum regression from tooth
Tartar; foul smelling breath ; loose teeth
Treatment
Address host defence compromise
Dental hygiene ; Remove infected teeth
Genetics
Skull conformation
Actinobacillus lignieresii
Pathogenesis
Trauma to oral mucosa
Rough fodder
Multiple Pyogranulomatous abscesses (chronic)
Hard, tumour-like masses
May ulcerate
Disseminate to regional lymphatics
Internal organs eg. lung
Characteristics
Niche
Soft tissues- head + neck
"Wooden tongue"
Cattle/ sheep
Normal flora - endogenous infection
Gram -ve coccobacilli rod ; facultative anaerobic
Oxidase positive
Oropharnyx + rumen
Diagnosis
Clinical signs
Dysphagic
Weight + Production loss
Submandibular swelling
Painful. firm tongue
External draining tract / sinus
Pale discharge
Thick, viscous pus
Grey-white granules
Bacterial aggregates
Calcium phosphate
Fine needle aspirate
Cytology ; Gram stain
Club colonies
Culture
Anaerobic conditions
Candida albicans
Characteristics
Endogenous Yeast
Mouth, GIT, vagina
Common in birds
Causes
Neonates
Unestablished flora
Change in gut flora
Antibiotic usage
Immunological compromise
AIDS, neoplasia
Skin / mucosal barrier break
