“…A suis was originally identified in cultures from septicaemic pigs, and it has been associated with polyarthritis, pneumonia, pericarditis, nephritis and subcutaneous abscesses in pigs of all ages (Mair and others 1974, Liven and Larson 1978, Carter 1984). In young pigs between one and six weeks old A suis causes a rapid and fatal septicaemia.…”

A 24-hour-old Hackney ony filly developed signs of weakness, depression and a poor suck reflex, with harsh lung sounds over both fields, and a 48-hour-old Arabian colt from a normal birth which had sucked vigorously developed loose stools and became depressed, weak and anorectic. Both foals had serum IgG concentrations greater than 800 mg/dl, but each had a severe neutropenia with a left shift, and blood cultures from both of them yielded Actinobacillus suis. The A suis isolates had different antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and, in the case of the Arabian, the isolate was resistant to commonly used broad spectrum antimicrobial agents.

“…None of these seemed to be based on the principle of agar-diffusion. Measurements of DNase activity of microbial origin, however, have been performed using the agar-diffusion test (ADT) (Lachica et al 1971, Porschen & Sonntag 1974, Sandvik 1974, Liven 1975. Considering the complexity of the methods reviewed by Laskowski compared to ADT, the aim of the present wofjk was primarily to elucidate whether the ADT could be employed in measuring DNase activity also in intestinal contents.…”
