Comment on Trueperella pyogenes – new name of an earlier described bacterium by Filip Boyen

Filip Boyen — Thu, 16 May 2013 09:35:09 +0000

We isolate T. pyogenes mainly from cattle (ruminants more generally) and pigs. Disease can vary a lot, but pus is almost always involved. Growth after 24 hours is usually faint, sometimes hemolysis is more clear than colonies. After 48 hours, clear white, but small colonies with complete hemolysis can be seen on SBA. If present, usually in high numbers on plate. T. pyogenes has been described in the vaginal flora of dogs once and from a dog with cystitis, but we have never seen it clinically in dogs. It has been occasionally isolated from cats as well. Related genera/species have been described in dogs (for example Arcanobacterium canis, Arcanobacterium pluranimalium).

We isolated this bacterium from abscess in a water buffalo, and it confused us because of its small sized colonies, low growth on SBA, requirement of carbon dioxide and poor response in Gram’s staining (it seemed Gram negative). Only after 16S rRNA sequencing we can confirm it as Trueperella pyogenes. The bacterium is important in abscess formation and mastitis. It is interesting to know about its role in dog infections. Seems to be, we are going to hear about it from zoonotic aspect in future.

The original comment was written in Spanish (see below), but I have tried to translate it to English. If anyone knows anything about Trueperella pyogenes (= Corynebacterium pyogenes = Actinomyces pyogenes = Arcanobacterium pyogenes) in dogs (particularly the French poodle), please write a comment. Kaggen English: Very interesting this new publication. I am a dermatologist in the city of Puebla, Mexico. and have isolated the bacteria in pustular lesions and abscess in infectious skin diseases. Changing the name of this bacterium to help me such that doctors do not confuse with Corynebacterium pyogenes Corynebacterium acnes (now called Propionibacterium acnes). I would ask if you have any knowledge of this bacterium in dogs, mainly french poodle breed. Thank you very much. Spanish: Muy interesante esta nueva publicacion. Soy dermatologa en la ciudad de Puebla, Mexico. y hemos aislado esta bacteria en lesiones pustulosas y absceso en enfermedades infecciosas de la piel. El cambiar el nombre de esta bacteria me ayudara por ejemplo a que los médicos no confundan a Corynebacterium pyogenes con Corynebacterium acnes (actualmente llamado (Propionibacterium acnes). quisiera preguntar si tienen algún conocimiento sobre esta bacteria en perros, principalmente los de la raza french poodle. Muchas gracias.

Hej! Jag har noterat att samma sak uppstår om man kör kolhydrat komination 3 på fall 6. Där är också kontrollproverna felmärkta. Det står dock rätt i bildtexten.

Nu har vi bytt ut den felaktiga bilden och ett korrekt jäsningsresultat visas.

Tack för din uppmärksamhet Cecilia!
Du har inte gjort fel. Vi har lagt ut fel jäsningsbild för kolhydratkombination 1 och “Case 7″. Jag kan för närvarande bara ändra i bildtexten, men bilden ska givetvis också bytas ut så småningom.
