Pyelocystitis results from ascending infection of the urinary tract with Corynebacterium suis in sows. Infection occurs regularly during coitus by healthy boars, which are often contaminated with Corynebacterium suis. Characteristic clinical signs of pyelocystitis are haematuria, anemia and emaciation. The whole urinary tract shows severe purulent-necrotic inflammation with progressive vascular lesions. Diagnosis is based on clinical, pathological and bacteriological findings. Distinct changes in urine samples are present. Treatment is only successful in sows with intact function of kidneys. In early detected cases treatment can be effective with repeated application of appropriate antibiotics, e.g. penicillin or ampicillin. There are no proven methods of prevention.

Multiple drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium, definitive type (DT) 104 and DT104b, were isolated in three separate hunting preserve bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) outbreaks. The cases involved 4-day-old and 3-wk-old quail with increased mortality of 5%-8.6%, respectively. Postmortem lesions included emaciation, distended abdomens, and dark colon contents, which were gaseous and fluid in consistency. Salmonella typhimurium isolated from the intestines and/or livers was resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, and tetracycline. The isolate involving the 3-wk-old quail was phage typed as S. typhimurium DT104. The isolates involving the two cases of 4-day-old quail were phage typed as S. typhimurium DT104b.
