Relationship of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis protoplasmic toxins to the exotoxin.

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: biochemical properties, production of toxin and virulence of ovine and caprine strains.

Twenty-two strains of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, were isolated from typical abscesses in sheep and goats from flocks in 6 different regions of France and were characterized. These strains were uniform in biochemical characteristics, susceptibility to 8 antimicrobial agents, and virulence for OF1 mice. All these strains produced an exotoxin,...

Clinio-Pathological Changes in Goats Challenged with Corynebacterium Peudotuberculosis and its Exotoxin (PLD)

Corresponding Author: Faez Firdaus Jesse Department of Veterinary Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UPM, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a chronic disease caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. However, there is a paucity of data about the C. pseudotuberculosis exotoxin, phospholipase D ...

Isolation of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis from Camel in Iran

Implication of Corynebacterium species in food’s contamination

The genus Corynebacterium represents one of the earliest described bacterial genera. Recently, we can observe an increasing number of publications describing different incidents of infections, where species of Corynebacterium are isolated as the etiological factor[1-6]. This genus was originally proposed for the causative organism of Corynebacterium diphtheriae (Lehmann and Neumann, 1896) for d...

Assessment of blood changes post-challenge with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and its exotoxin (phospholipase D): A comprehensive study in goat.

AIM There is very little information regarding blood changes during the challenge of phospholipase D (PLD) in goats. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to study the changes in blood after the challenge with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and its exotoxin, PLD to fill in the gap of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) research. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six crossbred Boer goats aged 12-14 ...
