Abstract:
Colibacillosis associated with salpingitis occurred in a layer chicken flock on a commercial egg-producing farm in Japan. An increase in mortality was observed when the birds were at 62 weeks of age and reached 0.89% at 68 weeks of age. Postmortem examinations revealed pericarditis, perihepatitis, airsacculitis, and reproductive tract lesions in 4 affected birds at 69 weeks of age. Analysis of pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns and putative virulence genes of 22 E. coli isolates obtained from the affected birds demonstrated that isolates from liver, heart, and the surface of the reproductive tract of one bird were genetically unrelated with those recovered from the lumen of the oviduct. In the other birds, isolates from liver, heart, and reproductive tract lesions were closely related to each other. These findings suggest that salpingitis in the former bird may be caused by ascending infection of the oviduct from the cloaca and salpingitis in the remaining birds may occur as part of systemic infection.

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route
Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...
Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
