Actinobacillus equuli is a rare cause of peritonitis in adult horses. Septicemia and peritonitis due to A. equuli were diagnosed at necropsy in an 8-year-old Saddlebred mare. The origin of the infection was not known; however, small necrotic colonic mucosal lesions presumed to have been caused by phenylbutazone treatment may have allowed bacterial invasion. A good response to antimicrobial treatment has been documented in the small numbers of previously reported acute cases of peritonitis. Because it is potentially treatable, it is important for pathologists and clinicians to identify horses with A. equuli peritonitis.

“…It is the etiological agent of a rare, but frequently fatal septicaemia in neonatal foals also known as ''sleepy foal disease'' which is spread worldwide (Rycroft and Garside, 2000;Berthoud et al, 2002). Besides this acute form of disease, A. equuli can be associated with other types of infections in both foals and adult horses, such as abortion, enteritis, peritonitis, pleuropneumonia, pericarditis, periorchitis and arthritis (Webb et al, 1976;Dill et al, 1982;Al-Mashat and Taylor, 1986;Belknap et al, 1988;Peremans et al, 1991;Collins et al, 1994;Patterson-Kane et al, 2001). A. equuli has been subdivided in two different subspecies, designated A. equuli subsp.…”

Actinobacillus equuli was isolated in pure culture from the liver and lungs of an adult rabbit with Tyzzer's disease (Clostridium piliforme). Based on the haemolytic features on blood agar plates, a positive reaction in the CAMP-test, hydrolysis of esculin, the inability to ferment L-arabinose, tDNA-PCR and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, the isolate was classified as A. equuli subsp. haemolyticus biovar 1. However, the aqxA gene, characteristic for haemolytic A. equuli strains, was not detected by PCR. #

“…equuli, a non-hemolytic subspecies is associated with "sleepy foal disease", a clinical condition characterized by acute septicemia of foals with purulent nephritis which eventually becomes chronic in the form of "joint ill", a polyarthritis . Infections in adult horses due to A. equuli are less common and generally more localized as it is described in cases of arthritis, endocarditis (Aalbaek et al 2007), abortion (Webb et al 1976), septicemia, nephritis, pneumonia (Carr et al 1997, Pusterla et al 2008, and orchitis (Patterson-Kane et al 2001). A few cases of acute and chronic peritonitis caused by A. equuli infection have also been documented in adult horses (Gay and Lording 1980, Golland et al 1994, Patterson-Kane et al 2001.…”

Actinobacillus suis and Actinobacillus equuli, emergent pathogens of septic embolic nephritis, a new challenge for the swine industryActinobacillus suis y Actinobacillus equuli, patógenos emergentes de nefritis embólica séptica, un nuevo desafío para la industria porcina RESUMENLas lesiones renales son una causa importante de decomiso en los mataderos. Además de las posibles consecuencias en salud pública, el decomiso de órganos tiene un gran impacto económico en la industria de alimento animal. Recientemente, nefritis embólica séptica con lesiones semejantes a infecciones con Actinobacillus equuli en potrillos ha sido detectada en reproductoras y cerdos con peso de mercado. Actinobacillus equuli es fenotípica y genéticamente similar a Actinobacillus suis. Ambas son bacterias Gram-negativas difíciles de diagnosticar en exámenes de rutina. A. suis es un patógeno oportunista capaz de producir septicemia en cerdos, neumonía, poliartritis, nefritis embólica séptica, aborto y fetos momificados. Brotes de la enfermedad clínica parecieran ocurrir con más frecuencia en planteles de cerdos con estrictas medidas de bioseguridad. En cerdos adultos, las lesiones de piel pueden confundirse con erisipela porcina. A. suis y A. equuli son patógenos oportunistas emergentes en la industria porcina y ambos tienen potenciales consecuencias en salud pública, principalmente en aquellas personas que manipulan productos cárneos. El objetivo de esta publicación es presentar una revisión bibliográfica sobre el rol de A. suis y A. equuli en la patogénesis de nefritis en cerdos.
