| streptococcus henryi sp. nov. and streptococcus caballi sp. nov., isolated from the hindgut of horses with oligofructose-induced laminitis. | four gram-positive, catalase-negative, coccoid-shaped isolates were obtained from the caecum and rectum of horses with oligofructose-induced equine laminitis. phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on these isolates. initial biochemical profiling assigned two of the isolates to streptococcus bovis. the other two isolates, however, could not be assigned conclusively on the basis of their biochemical profiles. gene sequence analysis demonstrated that the four new isolates were related ... | 2008 | 18175719 |
