Isolation of Pasteurella aerogenes from the uterus of a rabbit following abortion

J E Thigpen et al. Lab Anim Sci. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

Pasteurella aerogenes was isolated from the uterus and peritoneal cavity of a rabbit which died 4 days after abortion. Histopathologic observations confirmed a bacterial infection. Mouse pathogenicity tests indicated that this organism was an opportunistic pathogen that might have been responsible for the stillbirths. The cultural and biochemical characteristics of this isolate were similar to those of the Pasteurella aerogenes isolated from swine. This is the first report describing the isolation of Pasteurella aerogenes from a rabbit.
