E. Coli Mastitis Case Summary

872 Words4 Pages

Katelyn Pugliese Hannah Chenail Health Management Critically Appraised Topic Clinical Question In dairy cattle with E. coli mastitis, is fluid therapy better then anti-inflammatory containing carprofen to improve clinical recovery? Case During a routine visit to a client’s dairy farm, the owner Joe Smith has mentioned that several of his cows are sick with mastitis. He believes the mastitis is caused by Escherichia coli. Being a long time client, he has had many discussions about the best way to treat E.coli mastitis in his herd. With the recent difficulty to treat mastitis, he mentioned that he has heard about an anti-inflammatory containing carprofen. Claims have been made that this anti-inflammatory improves recovery rate. Another popular …show more content…

The researchers that were treating the cows were either using carprofen or saline solution. They were unaware of which they were treating with providing unbiased results and observations. Another great portion of this study was that the E. coli was inoculated into each cows left front and rear udder, providing for a uniform sampling field. The only flaw to this study was that it was such a small study group, 25 cows. If this was done on a larger group, an immunomodulatory effects trend may have been observed. Conclusion In conclusion carprofen has no significant effect on bacterial treatment. Carprofen was given late into the acute phase reaction of the induced E.coli when clinical signs were first seen. Treatments with carprofen had modulatory effects on clinical and immunological parameters. Results show that after a treatment with carprofen, there was a significant decline in severity of the clinical parameters. Carprofen is a great antipyretic but does not exhibit its major immunomodulatory effects that would have been expected.

The fecal transplant added the healthy bacteria that was missing, back into the gut to help kill off the invading C. difficile infection. In week 1 the patient was feeling normal and healthy. Their gut contained all of the right bacteria they were supposed to have. L. reuteri (digestive and vitamin producing bacteria), B. fragilis (helps to produce immune cells), Prevotella (provides materials needed for growth and repair in the gut, keeping the gut lining healthy), B. animalis (prevents multiplying of infectious bacteria), and E. coli (take up extra space, preventing invasion of unhealthy bacteria). In week 3, the patient was feeling very sick, with vomiting, diarrhea and developing a fever.

This antibiotic produced a zone of inhibition of 26mm and was therefore sensitive. After a little bit more research it was concluded that K. oxytoca produces B-lactamase, therefore making it resistant to penicillin and ampicillin (MicrobeWiki, 2015). Now that testing has been done the providers know what type of medication would be best to start with. Two out of four medications could possibly be used to attack the infection. If the patient were to take Ciprofloxacin the mechanism of action would be to inhibit relaxation of DNA; inhibit DNA gyrase in

The Pros And Cons Of The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD)

506 Words | 3 Pages

According to the FDA, “”The increasing threat of antibiotic resistance to both human and animal health compelled the FDA to take action by removing production uses of medically important antibiotics and implementing greater veterinary oversight by transitioning over-the-counter antibiotics to VFD or prescription status.” - (Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) Basics). As the increased population has caused a rise in production, the new producers are unaccustomed to the dairy industry and as such do not have the knowledge or experience to be medicating their own animals. This resulting in a major need for guidance, if animals become ill. The Veterinary Feed Directive provides all animal producers with the knowledge and guidance they require for medications.

I think that McKenna’s article effectively uses logical and emotional appeal to convey her opinion that society’s scorn towards antibiotics is silly. She builds her academic argument by giving a comprehensive history of antibiotic history while citing outside resources from reliable organizations and scientists. Additionally, McKenna illustrates examples of benefits of proper antibiotic use, like with livestock raising. The article’s effectiveness also largely lies in its emotional appeal, particularly through personal testimony.

The correct vaccine would need to be found through research and administered to infected animals.

Pros And Cons Of Veterinary Feed Directive

662 Words | 3 Pages

The Department of Health and Human Services should urge the Food and Drug Administration to extend the Veterinary Feed Directive to include all livestock. When there is a requirement that all livestock should be included in the Veterinary Feed Directive, the chance of antimicrobial resistance occurring in the general human population could further decrease. Antibiotic resistance serves as an unnecessary burden for the currently overworked health care system. Antibiotic resistance cannot be monitored and controlled if all livestock are not included in the directive. The Veterinary Feed Directive solely targets cattle, swine, and goat, however; the FDA fails to mention other meat-producing animals such as bison, elk, and boar in the directive.

Mastoiditis Research Paper

Mastoiditis is when the mastoid process becomes infected with bacteria and can destroy the inner portion of the mastoid process (Bontrager, 2014). The mastoid is part of the temporal bone and is located right behind the ear. There are air cells contained in the mastoid and these air cells can get infected with a fluid filled abscess and become a life threatening condition called mastoiditis (Bontrager, 2014). There are a few different causes of mastoiditis but the most common one is by an infection of the middle ear. The infection of the middle ear can spread to the mastoid and cause the mastoid to break down (www.nlm.nih.gov, 2014).

These animals’ barley moves and step on their feces all day, this unhygienic practice leads the industrialized meat to be highly contaminated with the viruses. Due to the industrialized farming spread of E. coli virus is spreading widely. The FDA needs to implement regulation to feed animals, fresh grass a week before slaughter to prevent spread of diseases. As Michael Pollan said, “If you take feedlot cattle off of their corn diet, and give them grass for five days, they will shed 80% of the E. coli in their gut.” (Food Inc 35:59-36:07).

Alda Facio's What Is A Patriarchy?

392 Words | 2 Pages

A patriarchy is defined by Merriam-Webster a “social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line” or “a society or institution organized according to the principles or practices of patriarchy”. However, these definitions do not fit the society we currently live in, so why do feminists always claim that the patriarchy is oppressing all women? The fact of the matter is that the standard definition of a patriarchy does not apply to the first world so feminists have adapted the term. Alda Facio says “Patriarchy is a form of mental, social, spiritual, economic and political organization/structuring of society produced by the gradual institutionalization of sexbased political relations created, maintained and reinforced by different institutions linked closely together to achieve consensus on the lesser value of women and their roles.
