摘要

Four specific-pathogen-free rabbits with anorexia died peracutely; decreased fecal output, nasal exudate, and labored breathing were the only other clinical abnormalities observed in two of the rabbits before death. The animals, three juveniles and one adult, were on a standard polyclonal antibody production regimen and had received immunizations approximately 2 weeks before presentation. External examination revealed distended abdomen and perineal fecal staining, At necropsy the small intestine was distended with fluid, and the cecum was distended with chyme. The small intestines and cecum had marked serosal hyperemia. Anaerobic bacterial culture techniques were used to isolate Clostridium difficile from the small intestine (3/4) and cecum (2/4). In all cases C. difficile toxin B was detected at high titers (10(2) to >10(5)) in the small intestine by cytotoxicity assay with HeLa 229 cell culture, In two of the four rabbits C. difficile was isolated, and cytotoxin titers were detected at 10(1) and 10(4) in the cecum of affected rabbits. Toxin B was neutralized with C. sordellii antiserum but not C. spiroforme antiserum, In addition, toxin A was detected in each of the cytotoxin B-positive samples by a commercial toxin A enzyme immunosorbent assay. In vitro production of toxins A and B was detected from each culture isolate after incubation in chopped meat broth. These cases are noteworthy because spontaneous (nonantibiotic-associated) C. difficile enterotoxemia has not been previously reported in rabbits. Also the toxins of clostridial organisms are usually documented in the cecum, not the small intestine, of rabbits. On the basis of these findings, the differential diagnosis of peracute mortality in colony-maintained rabbits should include C. difficile- as well as C. spiroforme-induced enterotoxemia.
