Like many others we have been testing our incoming rodents by PCR. This has expedited their release from quarantine (which the researchers like) but added a few headaches for the veterinarians too, because we are finding organisms we may not have been testing for before. For instance, we have found the following on recent imports:
- Pasteurella pneumotropica
- Bordetella hinzii
- Campylobacter spp.
- Klebsiella oxytoca
- Pneumocystis carinii (rats)
- Corynebacterium bovis
If this happened at your institution, what would you do?
