Abstract
Detection of Antibodies to Erysipelothrix in Stray Dogs in Japan
Highlights
E. tonsillarum can be distinguished from E. rhusiopathiae by serology, the fermentation of saccharose, genetic homology and the lack of pathogenicity for pigs (Takahashi et al. 1992, 1993, 2000a)
The bacterium has been isolated from dogs with endocarditis (Eriksen et al. 1987, Hoenig & Gillette 1980, Kucsera 1979, Sisson et al. 1984)
In an experimental infection study using an isolate from a dog, it was confirmed that dogs developed endocarditis after intravenous inoculation (Goudswaard et al. 1973)
Summary
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is considered as a pathogenic bacterium for many species of animals. The genus Erysipelothrix had been thought to contain a single strain. On the basis of genetic homology, the genus Erysipelothrix was found to constitute different strains, E. rhusiopathiae and a new strain, E. tonsillarum E. tonsillarum can be distinguished from E. rhusiopathiae by serology, the fermentation of saccharose, genetic homology and the lack of pathogenicity for pigs
