• Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive bacterium known globally to infect ruminants, horses, and rarely people. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] Shortly after, it was sampled from abscesses in a sheep by Hugo von Preisz [hu], and the bacterium was named the "Preisz-Nocard" bacillus until further work by German microbiologists in the mid-1900s, when it was recategorized into the Corynebacterium genus. (wikipedia.org)
  • C. pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive bacterium that can be either coccoid or filamentous rods, which can be organized into palisades. (wikipedia.org)
  • This bacterium is grown at 37 °C under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, thus C. pseudotuberculosis is a facultative anaerobe. (wikipedia.org)
  • Caseous lymphadenitis (CL) is a chronic, contagious disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis . (msdvetmanual.com)
  • Hence, we sought to implement a combined approach for characterizing the entire exoproteome of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis , the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in sheep and goats. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Comparative analyses of the exoproteomes of two C. pseudotuberculosis strains, in addition to comparison with other experimentally determined corynebacterial exoproteomes, were helpful to gain novel insights into the contribution of the exported proteins in the virulence of this bacterium.

  • Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that belongs to the so-called CMN ( Corynebacterium-Mycobacterium-Nocardia ) group, a distinct subgroup of the Actinobacteria that also includes other highly important bacterial pathogens, such as Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis .

  • citation needed] Distribution of C. pseudotuberculosis is mostly traced by examining prevalence of caseous lymphadenitis, the bacterium's main pathological disease. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] Although few recent studies have been conducted into its prevalence, data from slaughterhouses in Australia in the late 1980s suggested that C. pseudotuberculosis was affecting 50-60% of sheep. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although prevalence of CL varies by region and country, it is found worldwide and is of major concern for small ruminant producers in North America. (msdvetmanual.com)
  • 44 proteins were commonly identified in two different strains, isolated from distinct hosts, then composing a core C. pseudotuberculosis exoproteome. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Also, multidrug resistance to ≥ 3 classes of antimicrobials was found in 23.5% (8/34) strains. (bvsalud.org)
  • Caseous lymphadenitis (CL) is a chronic, contagious bacterial disease that manifests clinically as abscesses of peripheral and/or internal lymph nodes and organs. (msdvetmanual.com)
  • In fact, one might expect that the majority of the virulence determinants of C. pseudotuberculosis would be present in the exoproteome, i.e . the entire set of bacterial proteins found in the extracellular milieu [ 7 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In small ruminants, C. pseudotuberculosis causes a disease called caseous lymphadenitis characterized by pyogranulomatous abscess formation. (wikipedia.org)
  • A disease known as ulcerative lymphagenitis can also result from infection with C. pseudotuberculosis in the distal limbs of horses. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] C. pseudotuberculosis also causes disease in horses, and should be considered prevalent in areas where cases of "pigeon fever" and "ulcerative lymphadenitis" have been recorded. (wikipedia.org)
