Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium that causes respiratory disease in a number of animals. Cats infected with B. Although the bacteria are susceptible to disinfectants, it is likely that they can survive for weeks in the environment, so unless kept scrupulously clean, the environment, bedding, feeding bowls, grooming utensils etc may also be sources of infection.
Cats can also remain infected with B. Infection with B. Signs typically last days. However, in occasional cases especially in young kittens, and with severe stress infection may be more severe and can sometimes result in life-threatening pneumonia.
The frequency with which B. Studies have shown that exposure to the bacterium is relatively common, especially in colony situations such as rescues and some breeding establishments.
However, sub-clinical and mild infections are likely to be common. Pet cats kept on their own or as part of a small group are much less likely to be infected.
Most clinical problems arise in colonies where B. A diagnosis of infection is made by detecting the organism in the laboratory from swabs taken from the pharynx throat. The organism can be detected by bacterial culture using specific culture medium or by PCR polymerase chain reaction — a molecular technique to detect the genetic material of the organism.
Treatment with antibacterial drugs is usually very effective in managing B. However, the bacteria can be resistant to some antibiotics so in general it is better to carry out sensitivity testing in the laboratory from bacterial culture to determine which antibiotics are most effective.
