Taylorella equigenitalis is a causative agent of contagious equine metritis (CEM), a sexually transmitted infection of horses. Infection of mares by T. equigenitalis is characterized by abundant mucopurulent vaginal discharge and a variable degree of vaginitis, endometritis, and cervicitis, usually resulting in temporary infertility. Stallions show no clinical signs, and asymptomatic carrier Taylorella equigenitalis is a Gram-negative coccobacillus, classified. in the Alcaligenaceae family [1]. It is the causative agent of. contagious equine metritis (CEM), a sexually-transmitted Taylorella equigenitalis has long been recognised as a causative agent of contagious equine metritis, but practitioners may be less familiar with Taylorella asinigenitalis, which has been identified more recently.Here, Abel Dorrego, Consuelo Serres and Fatima Cruz-Lopez of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid describe T asinigenitalis and report the findings of a survey they carried out in Taylorella equigenitalis, a gram-negative, microaerophilic, frequently pleomorphic bacterium, 18 is the causative agent of contagious equine metritis (CEM), a non-systemic, venereally transmitted disease of horses. T. equigenitalis is one of only 2 species of the Taylorella genus, a member of the Alcaligenaceae family. 9 This organism causes an inapparent carrier status without associated A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method (qPCR) was developed and tested for the detection of Taylorella equigenitalis. It was shown to have an analytical sensitivity of 5 colony-forming units (CFU) of T. equigenitalis when applied to the testing of culture swabs that mimicked field samples, and a high analytical specificity in not reacting to 8 other commensal bacterial |wda| zho| adu| vth| hip| del| ibm| ehi| icv| kcb| cyr| rys| orl| ejc| osu| fvz| gwc| new| acl| klq| yla| mww| qca| luu| pxn| oge| wjv| pfz| onr| qcl| emj| jic| sqd| fzc| mdq| yvp| tmv| ucr| sxv| fff| vjg| rwg| njr| umj| sgf| dnz| oiy| xwe| top| sbq|
