A species of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria that was originally isolated from necrotic areas in the kidney of a sheep. It may cause ulcerative lymphangitis, abscesses, and other chronic purulent infections in sheep, horses, and other warm-blooded animals. Human disease may form from contact with infected animals.

Infections with bacteria of the genus CORYNEBACTERIUM.

Inflammation of the lymph nodes.

A genus of asporogenous bacteria that is widely distributed in nature. Its organisms appear as straight to slightly curved rods and are known to be human and animal parasites and pathogens.

Diseases of domestic and mountain sheep of the genus Ovis.

A human and animal pathogen causing mesenteric lymphadenitis, diarrhea, and bacteremia.

Infections with bacteria of the species YERSINIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS.

Diseases of the domestic or wild goat of the genus Capra.

Any of numerous agile, hollow-horned RUMINANTS of the genus Capra, in the family Bovidae, closely related to the SHEEP.

Infection of the lymph nodes by tuberculosis. Tuberculous infection of the cervical lymph nodes is scrofula.

Any of the ruminant mammals with curved horns in the genus Ovis, family Bovidae. They possess lachrymal grooves and interdigital glands, which are absent in GOATS.

A species of gram-positive, asporogenous, non-pathogenic, soil bacteria that produces GLUTAMIC ACID.

A species of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria in which three cultural types are recognized. These types (gravis, intermedius, and mitis) were originally given in accordance with the clinical severity of the cases from which the different strains were most frequently isolated. This species is the causative agent of DIPHTHERIA.

INFLAMMATION of LYMPH NODES in the MESENTERY.

An enzyme found mostly in plant tissue. It hydrolyzes glycerophosphatidates with the formation of a phosphatidic acid and a nitrogenous base such as choline. This enzyme also catalyzes transphosphatidylation reactions. EC 3.1.4.4.

Development of lesions in the lymph node characterized by infiltration of the cortex or paracortex by large collections of proliferating histiocytes and complete or, more often, incomplete necrosis of lymphoid tissue.

Diseases of domestic and wild horses of the species Equus caballus.

The genetic complement of a BACTERIA as represented in its DNA.

A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod- to coccobacillus-shaped bacteria that occurs in a broad spectrum of habitats.

Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria.

The etiologic agent of PLAGUE in man, rats, ground squirrels, and other rodents.

Suspensions of attenuated or killed bacteria administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious bacterial disease.

A multistage process that includes cloning, physical mapping, subcloning, determination of the DNA SEQUENCE, and information analysis.
