“…Other prevalent agents include Chlamydia felis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Mycoplasma species. [2][3][4] Bacterial agents are usually considered secondary pathogens in feline URD; however, B bronchiseptica has been documented as a primary respiratory pathogen in cats. 3,5 The reported prevalence in shelter-housed cats is 3-14%.…”

“…2,7,10,11 B bronchiseptica-associated feline URD usually causes clinical signs, including fever, sneezing, ocular discharge and coughing. 2 Severe manifestations such as development of lower respiratory disease (LRD), pneumonia, dyspnea or death are more common in kittens <10 weeks of age. 2,3 Several reports describe the epidemiology of B bronchiseptica in dogs and cats, including shelter populations.…”

Case series summary This case series describes an outbreak of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Bordetella bronchiseptica in 16 shelter-housed cats with infectious respiratory disease. Four cats presented with acute dyspnea on the same day, each with a history of previous upper respiratory disease that had resolved with treatment. Early diagnostic testing and culture and sensitivity allowed for targeted antimicrobial therapy and environmental interventions. A case definition based on exposure and clinical signs identified 12 additional presumptive cases, including the likely index case. Comprehensive outbreak management included diagnostic testing, risk assessment, vaccination, use of isolation and quarantine, increased surveillance and review of biosecurity practices. The outbreak resolved in 26 days. Relevance and novel information Management of an MDR B bronchiseptica outbreak in shelter-housed cats has not been previously described. Along with standard population and environmental measures, early and appropriate use of necropsy, PCR and bacterial culture allowed rapid and appropriate use of effective, second-line antibiotics. Shelters are resource-challenged population centers. Veterinarians working in animal shelters can play an important role in helping to develop cost-efficient and effective antimicrobial stewardship practices for companion animal settings. Outbreak management expertise and funding for diagnostic testing, as well as application of the principles of antimicrobial stewardship, are essential components of shelter medicine practice.

“…M. cynos is also associated with canine infectious respiratory disease complex; however, its pathogenicity and role in co-infections with other bacteria and viruses are not well understood. Mycoplasma felis is a pathogen of cats mostly associated with feline upper respiratory tract disease and conjunctivitis ( 4 , 5 ). Similarly, little is known about its pathogenicity, occurrence, and antimicrobial susceptibility profile.…”
