Isolation and partial characterisation of bacteria recovered from abscesses of normally slaughtered pigs

A Engvall et al. Acta Vet Scand. 1983.

Abstract
in English, Norwegian

One hundred and one pig abscesses of different localisation were examined. Bacteria were re-covered from all abscesses. In 6’8 abscesses a mixed aerobic and anaerobic flora was found. In 22 abscesses solely aerobes and in 11 solely anaerobes were found. Gorynebaoterium pyogenes and Fuso-bacterium necrophorum were found in 61 and 45 abscesses, respectively. Hemagglutination litres of G. pyogenes strains were higher with pig erythrocytes than with sheep erythrocytes. Three of 4 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus produced enterotoxin type A.

101 svinbölder från olika delar av slaktkroppen undersöktes med avseende på förekomst av aeroba och anaeroba bakterier. Växt av bakterier påvisades i samtliga bölder. I 68 bölder fanns en blandad aerob och anaerob flora, i 22 bölder enbart aerober och i 11 enbart anaero-ber. Gorynebacterium pyogenes och Fusobacterium necrophorum åter-fanns i 61 respektive 45 bölder. G. pyogenes uppvisade högre hämag-glutinationstitrar mot svin- än mot fårblodkroppar. Tre av 4 isolåt av Staphylococcus aureus bildade enterotoxin typ A.
