the isolation of actinobacillus equuli from equine abortion.		1976	988818
a haemolytic variant of actinobacillus equuli causing an acute septicaemia in a foal.		1971	5290202
pleural effusion associated with acute and chronic pleuropneumonia and pleuritis secondary to thoracic wounds in horses: 43 cases (1982-1992).	case records of 43 horses with pleural effusion associated with acute pleuropneumonia, chronic pleuropneumonia, or pleuritis secondary to a penetrating thoracic wound were reviewed to determine the predisposing factors, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition. acute pleuropneumonia was diagnosed in 36 horses, the majority of which were thoroughbreds (89%). of 22 (61%) horses that were in race training at the onset of illness, 11 (31%) had been recently transported a long distance and 4 (11%) ...	1994	7744650
equine neonatal septicaemia: 24 cases.	equine neonatal septicaemia was confirmed in 24 foals hospitalised at the rural veterinary centre between 1989 and 1992 with suspected septicaemia. septicaemia was confirmed by culture of bacteria from blood of live foals and tissues obtained at necropsy of foals that died or were euthanased. pathogenic bacteria isolated were predominantly enterobacteriaceae (including escherichia coli and salmonella serovars) and actinobacillus equuli. clinical manifestations of septicaemia included signs of de ...	1996	8660228
detection of bacteria in equine synovial fluid by use of the polymerase chain reaction.	equine synovial fluid aliquots were inoculated with salmonella enteritidis, escherichia coli, actinobacillus equuli, staphylococcus aureus, and streptococcus zooepidemicus to obtain approximate concentrations of 1000, 100, 10, and 1 colony forming u/ml. synovial fluid aliquots were also inoculated with an unquantitated inoculum of bacteroides fragilis and clostridium perfringens. inoculated synovial fluid was incubated in trypticase-soy broth or columbia broth for approximately 12 hours. then al ...	1996	9012103
diversity among isolates of actinobacillus equuli and related organisms as revealed by ribotyping.	the objective of this work was to examine the diversity within australian isolates of actinobacillus equuli and related organisms by the genotypic method of ribotyping.	1998	9673769
serum antibody in equine neonatal septicaemia due to actinobacillus equuli.		1998	9773474
pharmacokinetics of orbifloxacin and its concentration in body fluids and in endometrial tissues of mares.	pharmacokinetics and distribution of orbifloxacin into body fluids and endometrium was studied in 6 mares after intragastric (ig) administration at a single dose rate of 7.5 mg/kg body weight. orbifloxacin concentrations were serially measured in serum, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and endometrial tissues over 24 hours. minimum inhibitory concentrations of orbifloxacin were determined for 120 equine pathogens over an 11-month period. the mean peak serum concentra ...	2001	11480524
final classification of bisgaard taxon 9 as actinobacillus arthritidis sp. nov. and recognition of a novel genomospecies for equine strains of actinobacillus lignieresii.	phenotypic characterization of bacteria from diseased and healthy horses identified 18 isolates as bisgaard taxon 9 and 11 isolates as actinobacillus lignieresii. all strains of taxon 9 were alpha-galactosidase- and raffinose-positive and showed variable fermentation of (+)l-arabinose and (-)d-sorbitol. strains of a. lignieresii were negative for these characteristics, with the exception of raffinose. two strains from the (-)d-sorbitol-negative group of taxon 9 showed a 16s rrna similarity of 99 ...	2002	12148635
