| isolation of listeria monocytogenes type 04 from cases of keratoconjunctivitis in cattle and sheep. | keratoconjunctivitis in cattle and sheep is usually recognized as a summer problem. the infective agency usually isolated from cattle is moraxella bovis. in sheep neisseria ovis and rickettsia (colesiota) conjunctivae are expected to be found. this report describes isolations of listeria monocytogenes from eye inflammations in housed cattle and sheep. | 1975 | 806058 |

| phylogenetic relationships between some members of the genera neisseria, acinetobacter, moraxella, and kingella based on partial 16s ribosomal dna sequence analysis. | we obtained 16s ribosomal dna (rdna) sequence data for strains belonging to 11 species of proteobacteria, including the type strains of kingella kingae, neisseria lactamica, neisseria meningitidis, moraxella lacunata subsp. lacunata, [neisseria] ovis, moraxella catarrhalis, moraxella osloensis, [moraxella] phenylpyruvica, and acinetobacter lwoffii, as well as strains of neisseria subflava and acinetobacter calcoaceticus. the data in a distance matrix constructed by comparing the sequences suppor ... | 1994 | 7520730 |
| relatedness of three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis, by dna-dna hybridizations and fatty acid analysis. | dna-dna hybridization was used to determine the levels of genomic relatedness of the three species of "false neisseriae," neisseria caviae, neisseria cuniculi, and neisseria ovis. the reference strains of these species exhibited high levels of intraspecies relatedness (93 to 100% for n. caviae, 79 to 100% for n. cuniculi, and 68 to 100% for n. ovis) but low levels of interspecific relatedness (less than 34%) to each other and to various species belonging to the beta subclass of the proteobacteri ... | 1993 | 8494736 |
| identification and characterization of complete rtx operons in moraxella bovoculi and moraxella ovis. | to determine if moraxella bovoculi (m. bovoculi), a recently characterized coccoid moraxella that was isolated from the eyes of calves affected with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (ibk), and moraxella ovis (m. ovis), originally isolated from sheep with conjunctivitis, possessed genes encoding rtx proteins, genomic dna was amplified with oligonucleotide primers targeting rtx operon genes of moraxella bovis (m. bovis). complete classical rtx operons composed of rtxcabd genes closely linked ... | 2007 | 17561358 |

| mycoplasma and associated bacteria isolated from ovine pink-eye. | a mycoplasma was recovered from the untreated conjunctival membranes of nine sheep affected by pink-eye. it was neither isolated from the conjunctiva of treated animals which were affected nor from the conjunctiva of normal animals either in contact or not in contact with affected animals. bacteria found on normal conjunctival membranes were neisseria ovis, escherichia coli, staphylococcus epidermididis, streptococcus and bacillus spp. bacteria found in clinical cases of pink-eye were n. ovis, e ... | 1971 | 4251781 |
| exposure of bovine cornea to different strains of moraxella bovis and to other bacterial species in vitro. | a collection of strains of moraxella bovis, some pathogenic and some non-pathogenic in cattle, together with other m. bovis preparations, neisseria ovis, staphylococcus aureus and moraxella non-liquefaciens were studied by scanning electron microscopy for their affinity to bovine corneal preparations in vitro. the in vitro procedure provides a convenient method for studies on host-pathogen interactions at the early stage of pathogenesis. the results corresponded well with the pathogenicity of th ... | 1985 | 4031135 |
| mycoplasma bovoculi infection increases ocular colonization by moraxella ovis in calves. | to determine whether infection with mycoplasma bovoculi increases ocular colonization of cattle eyes with moraxella bovis and other bacteria, colonization of ocular gram-negative bacteria were measured in eyes of cattle infected with mycoplasma bovoculi. strains of moraxella ovis were chosen because these are among the most commonly isolated species of gram-negative bacteria from cattle eyes. five strains of m ovis were characterized biochemically and by pilus structure, permitting the recogniti ... | 1986 | 3729120 |

| the occurrence of mycoplasma conjunctivae in the netherlands and its association with infectious keratoconjunctivitis in sheep and goats. | the occurrence of mycoplasma conjunctivae in the netherlands is reported for the first time. m. conjunctivae was detected in all five sheep flocks examined with clinical signs of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (ikc) and in none of five sheep flocks without these clinical signs. these observations suggest a primary aetiological role of this organism in ikc in the netherlands. m. conjunctivae was also detected on a goat farm with clinical signs of ikc. experiences in culturing this organism are r ... | 1988 | 3413973 |
| ovine keratoconjunctivitis experimentally induced by instillation of mycoplasma conjunctivae. | five sheep, free from mycoplasma conjunctivae and ocular chlamydia infection, were experimentally inoculated with m. conjunctivae and five more sheep were exposed to the infection by contact. keratoconjunctivitis developed in all ten sheep. as in natural outbreaks of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (ikc), clinical signs were generally moderate and transient, and recurred in some sheep. m. conjunctivae was detected throughout the 53-day observation period. clinical diagnosis was confirmed by hist ... | 1988 | 3218062 |
