A 12-year-old indoor cat showed severe respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge and cough. On Day 5 after disease onset, an oral swab was collected and a real-time RT-PCR test was performed to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), indicating that the sample from the cat was positive for SARS-CoV-2 genes. Since the symptoms worsened on Day 8, a general physical examination, blood tests, chest x-rays and treatment were carried out and oral, nasal and rectal swabs were collected. Mild bronchitis and increased serum amyloid A (SAA) were observed, but it did not lead to pneumonia. In addition, whole-genome analysis revealed that it was the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. Then the cat recovered, and a significant increase of virus-neutralizing antibody titer was observed in the convalescent serum. In conclusion, this is the first report on a cat with respiratory symptoms caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in Japan.

We isolated the causative organisms from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in the cattles with refractory pneumonia that had not been cured by primary care, and investigated the drug susceptibility and the prognosis of the cases. The major isolates were Mycoplasma bovis (41.7%), Trueperella pyogenes (29.2%), Pasteurella multocida (26.4%), and Mannheimia haemolytica (8.3%). 62.5% of the cattle were cured by antimicrobial therapy based on the drug susceptibility of BALF-derived bacteria. On the other hand, a high proportion of multidrug-resistant and highly drug-resistant M. bovis was isolated from the BALF of cattle with a poor prognosis, and the choice of susceptible antimicrobial agents was very limited. Other isolates were also susceptible in the good prognosis group but were resistant to most antimicrobial agents in the poor prognosis group, making treatment very difficult. This study revealed that the increase in the number of resistant bacteria is decreasing the cure rate of pneumonia.
