“…(n = 1) [2, 17, 19–25]. On the contrary, other bacterial species isolated in the present study ( Staphylococcus sciuri, Staphylococcus equorum , Staphylococcus epidermidis , Streptococcus suis, Streptococcus alactolyticus, Corynebacterium spp., Burkholderia cepacia, Weeksella viros/Bergeyella zoohelcum , Pantoea ananati, Sphingomonas paucimobilis ), have never been associated with abortion even if they have been described as causes of diseases occurring sporadically both in humans and animals [26–36]. As previously suggested by Vidal et al (2017) mixed infections may play an underestimated role in ruminant abortions.…”

Background Infectious abortion in ruminants is a problem in animal husbandry worldwide. It is important to obtain a diagnosis, to make sure that proper control measures can be instituted, but most abortion cases remain without an etiologic diagnosis. This report describes the presence of Arcobacter species and several neglected opportunistic abortifacient agents in ruminant abortion cases showing or not co-infections among at least one of the major recognized protozoal, fungal, bacterial and viral abortifacient agents. Results A total of 67 fetuses (55 cattle and 12 goats) and just one placenta (cattle) were considered. Among the most common abortive agents, Neospora caninum (19,4%), followed by Chlamydophila abortus (4,5%), Listeria monocytogenes 1/2a (2,98%), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus type 1b (2,98%), Bovine herpesvirus 4 (2,98%), and Aspergillus spp. (2,98%) were detected. The isolated neglected opportunistic bacteria include Escherichia coli , Acinetobacter lwoffii , Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Streptococcus uberis , Streptococcus suis , Trueperella pyogenes, Mannheimia haemolytica , Bacillus cereus and Nocardia spp. Other bacterial species, not associated with abortion by literature, but described as causes of diseases occurring sporadically both in humans and animals, were also detected. Three Arcobacter strains, namely two A. skirrowii and one A. cryaerophilus , were isolated from 3 bovine aborted fetuses, and A. butzleri was isolated from the placenta. Conclusions A not negligible isolation of Arcobacter species and other neglected abortifacient agents has to be mentioned, with prevalences that seem to be emerging and replacing or co-placing the major infectious players in bovine and caprine reproductive failure due to abortion disease, even if further studies investigating the aetiological power and transmission routes are needed in order to define the role of these microrganisms in ruminant abortion.

“…It does grow on blood agar and chocolate agar but not on MacConkey agar and usually produce yellow pigmented or off-white, 1 to 2 mm, circular, opaque, flat or raised with entire margins colonies after 48 hours of aerobic incubation at 37 o C. Few colonies do appear after 24 hours of aerobic incubation. Old colonies do show deep yellow or mustard colour [5][6][7]13].…”

“…The genus Sphingomonas widely distributed in the nature, soil and water including the water sources in the hospital environment, contains at least more than 30 species, which of only paucimobilis is an occasional pathogen. Currently, there are more than 30 species with validly published names in the genus S. sensustricto [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Sphingomonas are ubiquitous bacteria that have been reported to be found in water (i.e. the pipes, bathtubs, distilled water, sea water, sea ice, river water, mineral water, haemodialysis fluid, ultrapure distilled water systems) the space shuttles and dental irrigation systems, nebulizers and hospital water systems and have colonised invertebrates collected from these water distribution systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Sphingomonas species have been linked to the death of coral reefs off the coast of Florida and some species are phytopathogenic such as Sphingomonas meloni [7].…”

“…It is one of the non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli that is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen [7]. S.paucimobilis is considered to be the organism of low virulence, likely owing to the absence of endotoxin and typical polysaccharide but sometimes can lead to septic shock [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
