Anaerobic Bacteria
Cattle clostridial diseases are caused by anaerobic bacteria, these bacteria grow in the absence of oxygen. Spores produced by clostridial bacteria allow it to survive the oxygen-filled environment. Soil and intestinal tract of animals are the natural habitats of the clostridial organisms. Cattle acquire pathogenic strains of clostridium bacteria by ingestion or by wound contamination. Once the organism enters the body and invades tissue it produces toxins as it multiplies. These toxins are potentially quite lethal.
Two Main Categories
Clostridial diseases are divided into two categories:
- those that invade tissue and produce toxins or
- those that remain in the intestine and produce toxins
The clostridial bacteria that invade tissue effecting muscle, blood cells, liver or nerve tissue to cause tissue damage and death include Clostridium chauvoei, Clostridium septicum, Clostridium novyi, Clostridium sordellii, and Clostridium tetani.
Clostridial bacteria remaining in the intestine can release toxins that are absorbed into tissues to cause damage and death. Clostridium Perfringens Types A, B, C, and D are included in this category.
