Abstract
A female Japanese black calf suffering from diarrhoea was treated with six different antibiotics for 9 days. The diarrhoea worsened and the calf was killed when 17 days old. At necropsy, the mucosal surface of the forestomachs showed diffuse haemorrhagic necrosis and pseudomembrane formation. Candida glabrata infection was diagnosed histologically, immunohistochemically, and by isolation and examination of the yeast. The intensive antibiotic treatment was considered to have been a predisposing or exacerbating factor. This is the first report of C. glabrata infection of the bovine forestomachs.
