“…These workers isolated it from only 7 of 3,346 aborted foetus examined in Kentucky and from none of 600 foals delivered dead at full term. Bain (1963) isolated the organism from a foal born dead 40 days prematurely and this appears to be the only report of its isolation from cases of prenatal infection in Australia. We have previously isolated it from a weak foal born prematurely which detenorated rapidly over 24 hours and died showing typical lesions of pyosepticaemia.…”

“…Bakterijske infekcije materice dovode do najvećih gubitaka u konjarstvu, prvenstveno kod priplodnih grla, jer se javlja kod 25-60% jalovih kobila. Među prvima koji su posvetili pažnju istraživanjima bakterijske etiologije u kliničkoj patologiji konja bio je Bain (1963)…”

Numerous studies have shown that a mare can develop a uterine infection that causes signifi cant economic losses in horse breeding. Assessment of the reproductive system in breeding animals in our country has been rarely carried out, however this is a common or compulsory practice in countries that have developed horse breeding. Th is paper describes the importance and diff erent techniques for the use of double protected swabs in the diagnostics of bacterial infection of the mare uterus in order to improve their fertility.

“…This bacterial species is a common cause of septicaemia in neonatal foals, but is sometimes also found in other types of infections in both foals and adult horses, such as arthritis, bronchitis, pleuritis, pneumonia and peritonitis (BAIN, 1963;BAKER, 1972;GAY and LORDING, 1980;DILL et al, 1982;KOTERBA et al, 1984;BREWER and KOTERBA, 1990;PEREMANS et al 1991;COLLINS et al, 1994). On post mortem examination, lesions caused by these infections are often characteristically fibrinous (BAIN, 1963;GAY and LORDING, 1980). Similarly, fibrinous lesions can also be found in pneumonic pasteurellosis in cattle, associated with Pasteurella haemolytica (REHMTULLA and THOMSON, 1981).…”

After exposure of equine granulocytes from both foals and adult horses to culture supernatants from clinical isolates of Actinobacillus equuli, phagocytic capacity and respiratory burst was examined by flowcytometry and a chemiluminescence assay, respectively. One haemolytic isolate of an equine Actinobacillus was also included in the study. An average decrease of 22 % in total number of granulocytes, in the flow cytometric assay (P ³ 0.01), and an average decrease of 26 % in light emission, in the chemiluminescence assay (P ³ 0.001), was seen after exposure to bacterial culture supernatants of A. equuli, indicating that the supernatants contained leukotoxic bacterial products. Supernatants from the haemolytic isolate appeared to contain a higher amount or more potent leukotoxic metabolites when haemolysis was expressed, causing a decrease in total number of granulocytes of 44 % (P ³ 0.01) and a decrease in light emission of 52 % (P ³ 0.01). Evaluation of the stability of the methods used revealed that within-method variation was far less than the observed results. The leukotoxic effects of A. equuli culture supernatants were mainly reflected in the decreased survival of neutrophils and not in neutrophil functions.
