Profiling Mannheimia haemolytica infection in dairy calves using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and multivariate analysis (MVA).

ABSTRACT: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) linked with Mannheimia haemolytica is the principal cause of pneumonia in cattle. Diagnosis of BRD traditionally relies on visual assessment, which can be untimely, insensitive, and nonspecific leading to inadequate treatment and further spread of disease. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid acquisition vibrational spectroscopy that can profile changes in biofluids, and when used in combination with multivariate analysis, has potential for disease diagnosis. This study characterizes the NIR spectral profile of blood plasma from dairy calves infected with M. haemolytica and validates the spectral biochemistry using standardized clinical and hematological reference parameters. Blood samples were collected for four days prior to (baseline), and 23 days after, a controlled intrabronchial challenge. NIR spectral profiles of blood plasma discriminated and predicted Baseline and Infected states of animal disease progression with accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity???90% using PCA-LDA models. These results show that physiological and biochemical changes occurring in the bloodstream of dairy calves during M. haemolytica infection are reflected in the NIR spectral profiles, demonstrating the potential of NIRS as a diagnostic and monitoring tool of BRD over time.

Project description:Six Lactobacillus strains originating from the nasopharyngeal microbiota of cattle were previously characterized in vitro and identified as candidate bacterial therapeutics (BTs) for mitigating the bovine respiratory pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica In the present study, these BT strains were evaluated for their potential to (i) reduce nasal colonization by M. haemolytica, (ii) modulate the nasal microbiota, and (iii) stimulate an immune response in calves experimentally challenged with M. haemolytica. Twenty-four Holstein bull calves (1 to 3 weeks old) received either an intranasal BT cocktail containing 6 Lactobacillus strains (3?×?109 CFU per strain; BT + Mh group) 24?h prior to intranasal M. haemolytica challenge (3?×?108 CFU) or no BTs prior to challenge (Mh, control group). Nasal swab, blood, and transtracheal aspiration samples were collected over the course of 16?days after BT inoculation. Counts of M. haemolytica were determined by culturing, and the nasal and tracheal microbiotas were evaluated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Serum cytokines (interleukin-6 [IL-6], IL-8, and IL-10) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Administration of BT reduced nasal colonization by M. haemolytica (P?=?0.02), modified the composition and diversity of the nasal microbiota, and altered interbacterial relationships among the 10 most relatively abundant genera. The BT + Mh calves also had a lower relative abundance of Mannheimia in the trachea (P?<?0.01) but similar cytokine levels as Mh calves. This study demonstrated that intranasal BTs developed from the bovine nasopharyngeal Lactobacillus spp. were effective in reducing nasal colonization by M. haemolytica in dairy calves.IMPORTANCE Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the significant challenges for the modern dairy industry in North America, accounting for 23 to 47% of the total mortality among pre- and postweaned dairy heifers. Mass medication with antibiotics is a common practice to control BRD in dairy cattle. However, the emergence of multidrug-resistant BRD pathogens highlights the importance of developing alternatives to antibiotics for BRD mitigation. Using a targeted approach, we recently identified 6 Lactobacillus strains originating from the bovine respiratory microbiota as candidates to be used as bacterial therapeutics (BTs) for the mitigation of the BRD pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica Here, we demonstrated that intranasal inoculation of the BT strains reduced nasal colonization by M. haemolytica in dairy calves experimentally challenged with this pathogen. This study, for the first time, shows the potential use of intranasal BTs as an alternative to mitigate BRD pathogens in cattle.

Project description:IntroductionAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating disease associated with high mortality and morbidity. The main threat to patients is delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a recent technology allowing continuous, non-invasive cerebral oximetry that could permit timely detection of impending DCI and appropriate intervention to improve outcomes. However, the ability of regional oxygen saturation to detect DCI, its association to the outcome, or benefits of any interventions based on NIRS data, are lacking. Our aims are to evaluate NIRS technology both as a therapeutic tool to improve outcomes in aSAH patients and as a diagnostic tool for DCI.Methods and analysisMEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be searched from their inception and without language restriction. Our search strategy will cover the themes of subarachnoid haemorrhage and cerebral oximetry, without limitations regarding studied outcomes. We will identify all observational and interventional human studies of adult patients hospitalised after aSAH that were monitored using NIRS. Functional outcome measures, including the modified Rankin Scale, the Glasgow Outcome Scale and the Barthel Index, will constitute the primary outcome. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool will be used for randomised controlled trials, the ROBINS-I tool to assess non-randomised studies of interventions and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort or case-control studies. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 will be applied to studies evaluating NIRS diagnostic accuracy for DCI. We will evaluate the quality of the evidence of the effect based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology.Ethics and disseminationDissemination will proceed through submission for journal publication, trial registry completion and abstract presentation. Ethics approval is not required.Prospero registration numberCRD42020077522.
