Corynebacterium camporealensis sp. nov., associated with subclinical mastitis in sheep

Complete Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium camporealensis DSM 44610, Isolated from the Milk of a Manchega Sheep with Subclinical Mastitis

Corynebacterium camporealensis has been isolated in pure culture from milk samples of dairy sheep affected by subclinical mastitis. The complete genome sequence of the type strain DSM 44610, recovered from milk of a Manchega sheep, comprises 2,451,810 bp with a mean G+C content of 59.41% and 2,249 protein-coding genes.

Corynebacterium capitovis sp. nov., from a sheep.

An unknown Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from skin scrapings from the infected head of a sheep and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain (C32-C36) mycolic acids consistent with the genus Corynebacterium. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the unkno...

‘Actinomyces provencensis’ sp. nov., ‘Corynebacterium bouchesdurhonense’ sp. nov., ‘Corynebacterium provencense’ sp. nov. and ‘Xanthomonas massiliensis’ sp. nov., 4 new species isolated from fresh stools of obese French patients

We report the main characteristics of 'Actinomyces provencensis' strain SN12T sp. nov., 'Corynebacterium bouchesdurhonense' strain SN14T sp. nov., 'Corynebacterium provencense' strain SN15T sp. nov. and 'Xanthomonas massiliensis' strain SN8T sp. nov., which were all isolated from stool samples from obese French patients.

Complex Infection Burkholderia cepacia of Dairy Sheep Associated with Outbreak of Subclinical Mastitis in a Flock

Outbreak of subclinical mastitis in a flock of dairy sheep associated with Burkholderia cepacia complex infection.

An outbreak of subclinical mastitis in a flock of 620 milking sheep was investigated. Microbiological and epidemiological analyses identified the causative agent as belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (formerly Pseudomonas cepacia). Every ewe in the milking flock was individually tested for subclinical mastitis on two separate occasions, 6 weeks apart, by the California (rapid) mastit...
