Isolation of Histophilus somni from the nasal exudates of a clinically healthy adult goat
Tóm tắt
The nasal exudate from 42 goats of the Mixteca Region in the state of Puebla, Mexico, was evaluated. A strain was isolated after 4 days of incubation. This strain was identified according to its phenotypic characteristics and by means of a species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as well as by sequencing of the amplified product. The species-specific PCR amplified a 407-bp fragment of 16S RNAr subunit, and the product sequencing revealed 100% homology with Histophilus somni 129PT. The nucleotide sequence was deposited in the GenBank under accession number HM032735. This is the first worldwide isolation of H. somni from nasal exudates of a clinically healthy goat.
