We report the incidence of bacteraemia associated with
Ignatzschineria spp. for the first time from animal clinical case
presumably, as a post complication of maggot wound in a White Yorkshire
pig. We described a clinical history of a febrile adult white Yorkshire
pig and the isolation of Ignatzschineria spp. from blood sample.
The isolate was characterized phenotypically and further identified by
16S rRNA sequence analysis. Its occurrence may be misdiagnosed in
veterinary hospitals especially in low-resource settings, often leading
to the underreporting of such emerging infections, since the diagnostic
facilities are still in very primitive phase in developing countries.
More information on speciation is needed with much about the
epidemiology and pathogenesis of this emerging pathogen in order to
explore its role in the lives of animals and humans. Novel pathogens
continue to emerge in human, domestic animal, wildlife and plant
populations, yet the population dynamics of this kind of biological
invasion remain poorly understood. This rapid communication may redirect
the scientific community working for animal and human health worldwide
to unveil such rare emerging infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
