“…Gross post-mortem examination revealed extensive haemorrhagic pneumonia in examined animals. On histology, all the lung samples showed a suppurative and haemorrhagic bronchopneumonia [102]. Another fatal case of severe fibrinous-hemorrhagic pneumonia in a mink was reported in Spain.…”

Acinetobacter spp. are aerobic, rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Moraxellaceae family of the class Gammaproteobacteria and are considered ubiquitous organisms. Among them, Acinetobacter baumannii is the most clinically significant species with an extraordinary ability to accumulate antimicrobial resistance and survive in the hospital environment. Recent reports indicate that A. baumannii has also evolved into a veterinary nosocomial pathogen. Although Acinetobacter spp. can be identified to species level by the use of the matrix-assisted laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) coupled with an updated database, molecular techniques are still necessary for genotyping and determination of clonal lineages. It seems that the majority of infections due to A. baumannii in veterinary medicine are nosocomial. Such isolates have been associated with several type of infections such as canine pyoderma, feline necrotizing fasciitis, urinary tract infections, equine thrombophlebitis and lower respiratory tract infections, foal sepsis, pneumonia in mink and cutaneous lesions in hybrid falcon. Given the potential multidrug resistance of A. baumannii, treatment of diseased animals is often supportive and should be based preferably on in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing. It should be noted that animal isolates show a high genetic diversity and are in general distinct in their sequence types and resistance patterns from those found in humans. However, it cannot be excluded that animals may occasionally play a role as reservoir for A. baumannii. In line, it is of importance to implement infection control measures in veterinary hospitals to avoid nosocomial outbreaks with multidrug-resistant A. baumannii.

“…Interestingly, the isolates from France were detected in companion animals in the community. Compared to clinical settings, little is known about Acinetobacter carriage in animals beyond these settings, but several studies during the last decade have detected A. baumannii in dogs in the community (21, 36), domestic birds (37), livestock (38) and other farmed animals such as mink (39). These reports indicate that community-acquired A. baumannii infections among animals may be increasing and that animals outside clinical settings may represent a reservoir for A. baumannii, including carbapenem resistant strains (15).…”

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Clinical Isolates Belonging to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) Complex Isolated From Animals Treated at a Veterinary Hospital in Switzerland

Objectives: We investigated a collection of strains belonging to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) complex obtained from a veterinary clinic with regard to their genetic relatedness, presence of antibiotic resistance genes and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles.Methods: Fifty-eight ACB-complex strains from animals treated at a veterinary clinic between 2006 and 2017, and seven strains collected from the hospital environment during 2012 were analyzed. Assignment to sequence types (ST) and international complexes (IC) was done by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) according to the Pasteur scheme. Genes encoding carbapenemases, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, macrolide-, quinolone- and co-trimoxazole resistance genes, the ISAba1 element, virulence associated intI1 genes and plasmid associated toxin-antitoxin markers were identified by microarray. Genes encoding blaOXA−51-like carbapenemases were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Susceptibility profiles were determined by disc diffusion or by broth microdilution.Results: Among 50 A. baumannii isolates from animals, two predominant clones were observed linked to CC1 (n = 27/54% of the isolates) and CC25 (n = 14/28%), respectively. Strains of IC I harbored blaOXA−69, aac(3′)-la, aadA1, sul1, intI1, and splA/T genes. Isolates belonging to CC25 possessed blaOXA−64. Six (12%) isolates belonging to CC2 and carrying blaOXA−66 were also noted. One isolate belonged to CC10 (blaOXA−68), one to CC149 (blaOXA−104), the remaining isolate was assigned to ST1220 and possessed blaOXA−116. Of six environmental A. baumannii, four (66.7%) belonged to CC25 (blaOXA−64), one (16.7%) to CC2 (blaOXA−66) and one to CC3 (blaOXA−71). Nine isolates (eight from animals and one environmental strain) were non-baumannii strains and did not harbor blaOXA−51-like genes. None of the isolates carried blaOXA−23, blaOXA−48, or blaOXA−58, and none were resistant to carbapenems.Conclusions: Clonal lineages of the veterinary A. baumannii isolates in our collection are identical to those globally emerging in humans but do not harbor blaOXA−23. A. baumannii CC25 may be specific for this particular veterinary clinic environment.

“…has also been recognized as a normal microbial habitat in ruminant and dog gastro-intestinal system. Therefore, the significance of the isolation of this organism had always been unclear or undetermined in animals until the invasive infections due to A. baumannii were implicated in animal species (Brachelente et al 2007; Jokisalo et al 2010; Molenaar and van Engelen 2015).…”

“…However, there is still ongoing discussion on cross transmission between animals and humans (Guardabassi et al 2004; Zordan et al 2011). Although A. baumannii was reportedly responsible for fascitis in a cat (Brachelente et al 2007), sepsis in a foal (Bentz et al 2002), bronchopneumonia in minks (Molenaar and van Engelene 2015), pneumonia and sepsis in a pig (Zhang et al 2013), dermatitis in falcons (Muller et al 2010), and bronchopneumonia in a horse (Jokisalo et al 2010), the importance of A. baumannii in animal infections has not been well-established. There is not any published report describing brain abscess and purulent bronchopneumonia due to A. baumannii neither in any animal species nor in sheep.…”
