“…Due to its zoonotic nature, T. pyogenes is related to public health cases, especially in immunosuppressed patients (JOST;BILLINGTON, 2005;IDE et al, 2006) and producers who maintain daily contact with production animals, as in the case of sepsis in a farmer in the rural Amazonia registered in 2006(LEVY et al, 2009. In other countries, doctors and veterinarians have warned the public for many years about the transmission of T. pyogenes from cattle to cattle ranchers, including the possible fatal outcome (LYNCH et al, 1998;PLAMONDON et al, 2007;HOSHINA et al, 2017;NAGIB et al, 2017).…”

“…The costs of veterinary care and medicine, milk discharge, infertility, early slaughter and the loss of carcass yield underscore the importance of sanitary management on farms for the control and prophylaxis of the disease (SANTOS;FONSECA, 2007;ASSIS et al, 2011;CHA et al, 2013). However, there is certain negligence in the notification of cases and few studies on this issue are found in the literature, despite the fact that this zoonosis can be fatal in some situations (PLAMONDON et al, 2007;LEVY et al, 2009;HOSHINA et al, 2017). This paper describes a clinical case of subcutaneous abscess by Trueperella pyogenes in a bovine in the Western Amazon.…”

Article history Trueperella pyogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that causes suppurative infections in domestic and wild animals as well as humans. This paper describes a clinical case of subcutaneous abscess by T. pyogenes in a bovine in the Western Amazon, Brazil. During anamnesis, intramuscular injectable drug administration in the middle third of the left gluteal biceps muscle and the practice of reusing needles were reported. The clinical examination revealed edema, hyperthermia and high pain sensitivity to the touch in the region. A sample was collected through a puncture incision for the bacterial culture, during which T. pyogenes was isolated. The therapeutic approach was the use of a systemic antimicrobial and topical care, with a good prognosis. This report is the first description of infection by T. pyogenes in cattle in the Western Amazon and underscores the importance of appropriate sanitary management in herds, especially the use of disposable needles and hygiene at the site of parenteral drug application.

True.pe.rel'la. N.L. fem. n. Trueperella named after Hans Georg Trüper, the German microbiologist. Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Actinomycetales / Actinomycetaceae / Trueperella Cells are Gram‐reaction‐positive, nonmotile, non‐spore‐forming coccobacilli and short rods that occur singly, in pairs (V, T, and palisade formations), or in clusters. Cells vary in shape and size in different media. Cells from 24‐h‐old broth cultures are Gram‐reaction‐positive but may be Gram‐reaction‐variable in older cultures. Pinpoint, in most cases β‐hemolytic colonies occur on sheep blood agar after 24 h of incubation. After 48–72 h of incubation, colonies are 0.5–1.5 mm in diameter, convex, circular, and translucent with entire edges. Aerobic and facultatively anaerobic. Strictly fermentative. Lactic acid is the primary metabolic product in glucose–yeast extract broth, but acetate and succinate are minor products. The peptidoglycan is of the type A5a, variations l ‐Lys– l ‐Ala– l ‐Lys– d ‐Glu or l ‐Lys– l ‐Lys– d ‐Glu. The muramic acid residue of the peptidoglycan is N ‐acetylated. Characteristic whole‐cell sugars are rhamnose and glucose. Mycolic acids are not present. The long‐chain fatty acids are primarily straight‐chain saturated and monounsaturated in addition to traces of branched‐chain fatty acids of the iso‐/anteiso type. The phospholipid type is type PI, comprising diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and an unknown phosphoglycolipid (PGL) of unknown composition. The principal menaquinone is MK‐10(H4). DNA G + C content (mol%) : 56–66. Type species : Trueperella pyogenes Yassin et al. 2011 VP .
