| virulence determinants and biofilm production among trueperella pyogenes recovered from abscesses of captive forest musk deer. | trueperella pyogenes (formerly arcanobacterium) is commonly isolated from domesticated or wild ruminants as an opportunistic pathogen. to investigate the role of virulence determinants (vds) and biofilm production in t. pyogenes isolates, a total of 36 t. pyogenes were collected from abscesses of forest musk deer in miyaluo farm (sichuan province, china). the prevalence of vds and associations with clonal types, antibiotic resistance and biofilm production were analyzed by pcr and bioassay. fina ... | 2013 | 23354327 |
