Microbiota anaeróbia isolada de bovinos com pododermatite

Resumo

The objective of this study was to isola te a,ui identify the anaerobic bacteria species in bovine with different degrees of pododermatitis. Sixty bovines were divided intn fnur grnup.< of .15 as follows: group I included healthy animais, used as control; group li with animais in the initial phase of the process; group lIJ, with animais displaying interdigital skin hyperplasia and group IV with animais with Jootrot. Interdigital tissue fragments were collected and processed for isolation and idel!lifica1io11 of wwerobic agents. The bacteria species isolated were: Dichelobacter nodosus in groups II, III and IV and Fusobacterium necrophorum only in groups lII and IV, with frequencies of 26.7%, 6. 7%, and 20.0% for the former and 6. 7% and 13.3% for the lauer, respectively. ln addition, Fusobacterium symbiosum was present in 40.0% of group !, 6.7% of group /!, 13.3% of group Ili and 13.3% of group IV; Bacteroides sp. in 6. 7% of groups I and IV; Bacteroides ruminatus in 33.3% of group !, 6.7% of group II, 33.3% of group III and 13.3% of group IV; Bacteroides oralis in 6. 7% of group III, and Fusobacterium mortiferum in 6.7% of group IV.
