Cystitis and vulvovaginitits, due to Corynebacterium pilosum and Actinomyces pyogenes infection in a 2-month-old female calf, is described. The prominent clinical signs were urinary incontinence, adherence of triple phosphate crystals to the vulvar hair and ulceration on the vulva, the ventral side of the tail skin and the perineum. Only a mild inflammation of the bladder mucosa and submucosa was seen on histological examination.

Otitis media (OM) in calves, is caused by different bacteria. OM treatment requires identification of etiological agents and antibiotic sensitivity testing. The gold standard method of bacteriological study of OM is tympanocentesis, but using this technique in farm condition would be difficult.

sp. nov and sp. nov., isolated from raw cow's milk.

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol

University of Bonn, Institute of Nutritional and Food Science, Food Microbiology and Hygiene, Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 7, 53115 Bonn, Germany.

Four Gram-positive, rod-shaped, none-sporeforming, non-motile isolates were obtained from various raw milk samples taken from the cooling tank on a research farm in Königswinter, Germany. Based on phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA genes and whole genome sequences, all isolates were assigned to the genus , but were divided in two different groups. All isolates contained C 9 and C as predominant fatty acids, as well as traces of C.

Reservoirs of spp. in the Environment of Dairy Cows.

Pathogens

January 2023

Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Section for Production, Nutrition and Health, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg C, Denmark.

Although Corynebacterium spp. can be regularly associated with subclinical and clinical mastitis cases in dairy cows, knowledge on their reservoirs in dairy farms is sparse. Therefore, samples were collected at 10 visits with 14 day intervals from bedding material (n = 50), drinking troughs (n = 20), different walking areas (n = 60), cow brushes (n = 8), fly traps (n = 4), the passage to pasture (n = 9) as well as milking liners (n = 80) and milker gloves (n = 20) in one dairy cow farm.

The species Corynebacterium renale, Corynebacterium pilosum, and Corynebacterium cystitidis were initially thought to be the same species C. renale, but with different immunological types. These bacteria are the causative agent of cystitis, urethritis and pyelonephritis and are found usually as constituents of the normal flora in the lower urogenital tract of cattle.

Three Gram-positive, rod-shaped, oxidase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacteria (KSS-3Se(T), KSS-4Se and KSS-10Se) were isolated from a coolant lubricant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses revealed almost identical sequences, with only a few (<10 positions) differences for these three isolates. Comparisons showed the highest similarities to Corynebacterium pilosum NCTC 11862(T) (97.
