AI Article Synopsis
- - Sternal bursitis is an inflammation in poultry that affects animal welfare and public health, prompting a study on its prevalence and characteristics in chickens.
- - Researchers collected 98 samples from infected chickens, identifying 24 isolates, which showed significant antimicrobial resistance, particularly to aminoglycosides, and were mainly from clonal complex 5 strains.
- - The study's findings, including moderate biofilm production by the isolates, emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring and specific actions to address the effects of sternal bursitis in poultry farming.
Article Abstract
Sternal bursitis, a common inflammatory condition in poultry, poses significant challenges to both animal welfare and public health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic characteristics of isolates associated with sternal bursitis in chickens. Ninety-eight samples were collected from affected chickens, and 24 isolates were identified. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed resistance to multiple agents, with a notable prevalence of aminoglycoside resistance genes. Whole genome sequencing elucidated the genetic diversity and virulence profiles of the isolates, highlighting the predominance of clonal complex 5 (CC5) strains. Additionally, biofilm formation assays demonstrated moderate biofilm production capacity among the isolates. These findings underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring and targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of sternal bursitis in poultry production systems.

Tierarztl Prax Ausg G Grosstiere Nutztiere
October 2018
Objective: The aim of the first part of the present study was to specify risk factors for the development of adventitious bursae on the limbs of weaning and finishing pigs.
Material And Methods: In total, 192 pigs were examined weekly, recording the following parameters: general condition, number, size and localization of adventitious bursae on the limbs and sternum, gait and claws.
Results: Adventitious bursae can occur at 13 positions on the limbs or sternum.
Staphylococcal septic synovitis of the sternoclavicular joint with retrosternal extension.

Article Synopsis
- * Recently, a patient with staphylococcal synovitis was treated, marking the 24th case documented in medical literature; this patient faced multiple complications but fully recovered.
- * While staphylococcal infections typically affect just the joint, they can lead to serious complications like sepsis and abscesses, even in patients with normal immune function.
