Alternative treatment of serious and mild Pasteurella multocida infection in New Zealand White rabbits

Pasteurella multocida causes numerous economically relevant diseases in livestock including rabbits. Immunization is only variably effective. Prophylactic
antibiotics are used in some species but are contra-indicated in rabbits, due to their adverse effects on the rabbit microbiota. There is therefore a substantial
need for alternative forms of infection control in rabbits; we investigated the effect of oral β-glucan on P. multocida infection in this species.


Results
Thirty-five New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into five groups of seven animals. Three groups were inoculated with Pasteurella multocida
intranasally (in.), a physiologically appropriate challenge which reproduces naturally acquired infection, and received either (1-3), (1-6) β-glucans or placebo.
Four other groups were inoculated both in. and intramuscularly (im.), representing a supra-physiological challenge, and received either (1-3), (1-6) β-glucans,
antibiotic or placebo. β-glucans given prophylactically were highly effective in protecting against physiological (in.) bacterial challenge. They were less
effective in protecting against supra-physiological bacterial challenge (in. and im.), although they extended survival times. This latter finding has practical
relevance to breeders as it extends the window in which heavily infected and symptomatic animals can be salvaged with antibiotics.

This antibiotic is widely used in veterinary medicine as an antibacterial agent, showing high activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria Enrofloxacin, sold under the brand name Baytril, among others, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for the treatment of animals. It is a bactericidal agent. The bactericidal activity of enrofloxacin is concentration-dependent, with susceptible bacteria cell death occurring within 20–30 minutes of exposure.

Pasteurella multocida causes numerous economically relevant diseases in livestock including rabbits. Immunization is only variably effective. Prophylactic 
antibiotics are used in some species but are contra-indicated in rabbits, due to their adverse effects on the rabbit microbiota. There is therefore a substantial 
need for alternative forms of infection control in rabbits; we investigated the effect of oral β-glucan on P. multocida infection in this species.
Results
Thirty-five New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into five groups of seven animals. Three groups were inoculated with Pasteurella multocida 
intranasally (in.), a physiologically appropriate challenge which reproduces naturally acquired infection, and received either (1-3), (1-6) β-glucans or placebo. 
Four other groups were inoculated both in. and intramuscularly (im.), representing a supra-physiological challenge, and received either (1-3), (1-6) β-glucans, 
antibiotic or placebo. β-glucans given prophylactically were highly effective in protecting against physiological (in.) bacterial challenge. They were less 
effective in protecting against supra-physiological bacterial challenge (in. and im.), although they extended survival times. This latter finding has practical 
relevance to breeders as it extends the window in which heavily infected and symptomatic animals can be salvaged with antibiotics.
Conclusions
In our study, (1-3), (1-6) β-glucans were highly effective in protecting against a model of naturally acquired P. multocida infection and extended survival times 
in the supra-physiological model. Enrofloxacin(baytril) was effective in protecting against supra-physiological infection. We are currently reviewing the use of combined 
prophylaxis.
