A 31-month-old Holstein dairy cow aborted at 224 days of gestation with ejection of cheese-like lochia. Citrobacter koseri, which commonly exists in the normal flora of human and animal digestive tracts, was isolated from aborted fetal tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, heart, lung, cerebrum, and skeletal muscle) and fetal membranes. Histopathological examination revealed suppurative fibrinous meningoencephalitis of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem; suppurative bronchopneumonia; suppurative chorioamnionitis; and fibrous splenic serositis.

- Pathogenic strains in swine lead to significant economic losses, particularly in Japan where antimicrobial use is higher compared to other farm animals.
- A recent study analyzed 1,708 strains from diseased swine over nearly three decades (1991-2019) and identified increasing multidrug-resistant strains, including resistant serogroups O116 and OSB9.
- The study found that although third-generation cephalosporins had a low resistance rate, alternative antimicrobials like apramycin and bicozamycin were more effective against highly multidrug-resistant strains.
We examined the antimicrobial susceptibility of 848 Escherichia coli isolates from 237 feces samples of wild sika deer (Cervus nippon) captured between 2016 and 2019 in 39 of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Five of the 237 wild sika deer (2.1%) carried E.
