Background Info

Cilia-associated respiratory bacillus (CARB) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacillus of unknown classification. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals. CARB is usually a copathogen, most commonly with M. pulmonis, but can cause disease alone in mice and rats. CARB infection causes lesions in the upper and lower respiratory tract, and pathology associated with infection is usually that of M. pulmonis. Hosts of the virus include mice, rats, and rabbits. Other laboratory rodents, such as guinea pigs and hamsters, have been experimentally infected.
