  • 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)
  • The genus contains the species Corynebacterium diphtheriae and the nondiphtherial corynebacteria, collectively referred to as diphtheroids. (medscape.com)

  • However, it is unknown whether LPS endotoxin of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A2, the principal causative bacteria that cause pneumonic mannheimiosis in small ruminants, may also induce similar insidious effects. (bvsalud.org)
  • Nondiphtherial corynebacteria also cause chronic and subclinical diseases in domestic animals and can lead to significant economic losses for farmers. (medscape.com)

  • A disease known as ulcerative lymphagenitis can also result from infection with C. pseudotuberculosis in the distal limbs of horses. (wikipedia.org)
  • This bacterial species has caused occasional cases of infection in people who work closely with infected small ruminants, resulting in similar swellings of the lymph nodes in the neck and groin. (wikipedia.org)
  • This bacterium is a facultative anaerobic organism that is catalase-positive and capable of beta-hemolysis. (wikipedia.org)
  • This bacterium is grown at 37 °C under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, thus C. pseudotuberculosis is a facultative anaerobe. (wikipedia.org)
  • Infection with this bacterium is often confirmed by bacterial culture of the purulent exudate. (wikipedia.org)
