The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of gram-negative bacteria isolated from companion animals with sepsis, and to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the isolates. Bacterial pathogens were isolated from specimens of dogs and cats submitted to National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service between 2008 and 2009. A total of 44 gram-negative pathogens were isolated from necropsied organs. The most common isolates were E. coli (n = 33), K. pneumoniae (n = 4) and B. bronchiseptica (n = 4). Most of gram-negative isolates were susceptible to ceftiofur (68.2%), colistin (84.1%), florfenicol (84.1%) and spectinomycin (61.4%). Most of those were resistant to ampicillin (77.3%), erythromycin (86.4%), flumequine (65.9%), lincomycin (97.7%), oxytetracycline (61.4%), penicillin (100%), streptomycin (63.6%), spiramycin (97.7%), sulfamethoxazole (90.9%), tylosin (97.7%) and tiamulin (100%). In conclusion, colistin and florfenicol could be useful against sepsis due to gram-negative bacteria.

Although several methods have been developed and applied to control swine respiratory diseases, the disease induces severe economic impact to swine industry worldwide. As one of the new trials, application of egg yolk antibody(IgY) was attempted for the purposes and immune response in sera and egg yolk was analysed with ELISA in previous study. In this study, immunological specificity of the IgY was analysed by Western blot analysis. In the analysis of causative agents of atrophic rhinits, B bronchiseptica and P multocida 4D, proteins of 33, 40, 43, 67 and 141 kDa were specifically reacted with IgY Also, 40 and 110 kDa proteins were identified as the major immunogens in P multocida 3A. In A pleuropneumoniae serotypes 2 and 5, 40 kDa and 47 kDa proteins were found to be the major reactive ones. These results suggested that egg yolk antibodies from immunized hens was specific with antigens injected into hens and partially purified antigens, outer membrane proteins and dermonecrotic toxin, were more effective than bacterin for the production of specific antibody.
