Coliform myositis in a calf was caused by gas-producing Escherichia coli. Treatment with trimethoprim/sulfadiazine was effective, targeting the identified bacterial strain.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Microbiology
  • Animal Pathology

Background:

  • Coliform myositis is a rare bacterial infection affecting skeletal muscle.
  • Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause severe tissue damage and inflammation.

Observation:

  • A young calf presented with acute pain, swelling, and edema in its right hind limb.
  • Clinical signs suggested a severe inflammatory or infectious process.

Findings:

  • Bacteriologic culture identified the causative agent as a gas-producing strain of Escherichia coli.
  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed in vitro susceptibility to trimethoprim/sulfadiazine.

Implications:

  • This case highlights E. coli as a potential cause of myositis in young cattle.
