The current study describes the recovery of Helcococcus ovis from an adult female Verata breed goat that was euthanized because of respiratory problems and emaciation. At necropsy, the affected animal showed a purulent bronchopneumonia with scattered pulmonary abscesses and fibrous pleural adhesions. A Gram-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped bacterium was isolated from the lung tissue and confirmed as H. ovis by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the genomes of 35 clinical isolates of an opportunistic bacterial pathogen from the uteruses of dairy cows, revealing significant antimicrobial resistance, particularly to tetracyclines.
- - Researchers identified a new bacterial species, proposed as sp. nov., which helps classify a strain implicated in a human eye infection that previously did not fit existing classifications.
- - Findings highlight that 97% of the examined strains carry mobile tetracycline resistance genes, indicating the pathogen's potential role as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance in food chains, along with the observation of convergent gene loss linked to virulence factors.

Considering that the skin microbiota is a complex community of commensal bacteria, fungi and viruses that are influenced by infections leading to pathological states, there is no evidence on how the skin microbiome is affected during capripoxvirus pathogenesis.
Methods: In this study, shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to investigate the microbiome in pox lesions from hosts infected with lumpy skin disease virus and sheep pox virus.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates an emerging bacterial pathogen that affects various animals, including humans, and causes diseases like bovine metritis and mastitis.
- Researchers developed an infection model demonstrating the pathogen's ability to proliferate in hemolymph and cause mortality in an invertebrate model organism within 48 hours.
- The model distinguished between isolates with different levels of virulence from cow infections, highlighting its effectiveness in studying immune responses and pathogen behavior across multiple hosts.
