    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Animal Models

    Background:

    • Osteomyelitis, a bone infection, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
    • Developing reproducible animal models is crucial for understanding disease pathogenesis and evaluating therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a simple and reproducible avian model for acute hematogenous Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis.
    • To identify key parameters for assessing infection severity and progression in this model.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous inoculation of 29-day-old chickens with varying doses of Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Monitoring of macroscopic lesions, particularly in the metaphyseal regions of long bones.
    • Assessment of chicken weight and growth rate post-inoculation.

    Main Results:

    • Macroscopic septic foci were detectable within 24 hours, primarily in the proximal tibia and distal femur.
    • Osteomyelitis development was dose-dependent, with an estimated 5.5 x 10^5 organisms/kg required for 50% infection rate.
    • A strong negative correlation was observed between bacterial inoculum size and chicken growth rate in the first 24 hours.

    Conclusions:

    • Chicken growth rate serves as an accurate and sensitive predictor of Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis.
    • This avian model provides a valuable platform for investigating osteomyelitis and testing potential interventions.
