| actinomyces canis sp. nov., isolated from dogs. | three strains of a previously undescribed catalase-positive actinomyces-like bacterium were isolated from dogs. biochemical testing and page analysis of whole-cell proteins indicated that the strains were phenotypically highly related to each other but different from previously described actinomyces and arcanobacterium species. sequencing of 16s rrna showed that the unknown bacterium represents a new subline within a cluster of species which includes actinomyces hyovaginalis, actinomyces georgia ... | 2000 | 10939662 |
| actinomyces suimastitidis sp. nov., isolated from pig mastitis. | an unusual actinomyces-like bacterium originating from a pig with mastitis was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the organism were consistent with its preliminary assignment to the genus actinomyces but it did not appear to correspond to any recognized species. page analysis of whole-cell proteins confirmed the phenotypic distinctiveness of the bacterium and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis demonstrated that it represents a hit ... | 2001 | 11491328 |
| molecular identification of bacteria associated with canine periodontal disease. | periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases of adult dogs, with up to 80% of animals affected. the aetiology of the disease is poorly studied, although bacteria are known to play a major role. the purpose of this study was to identify the bacteria associated with canine gingivitis and periodontitis and to compare this with the normal oral flora. swabs were obtained from the gingival margin of three dogs with gingivitis and three orally healthy controls, and subgingival plaque was coll ... | 2011 | 21489726 |
| bacterial pericarditis in a cat. | a 4-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented to the oregon state university cardiology service for suspected pericardial effusion. cardiac tamponade was documented and pericardiocentesis yielded purulent fluid with cytologic results supportive of bacterial pericarditis. the microbial population consisted of pasteurella multocida, actinomyces canis, fusobacterium and bacteroides species. conservative management was elected consisting of intravenous antibiotic therapy with ampic ... | 2017 | 28491384 |
| successful treatment of mitral valve endocarditis in a dog associated with 'actinomyces canis-like' infection. | infective endocarditis, an inflammation of the endocardial surface due to invasion by an infectious agent, is more common in middle sized to large breed dogs. we herein report a case of mitral valve endocarditis in a 9-year-old male-castrated weimaraner caused by an actinomyces canis-like bacterium, not previously reported in association with infection in dogs. | 2016 | 27364088 |
