“…In contrast, Citron et al (1996) found weak β-GAL activity in P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 T and clinical strains isolated from infected dog and cat bites in humans, while P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 T demonstrated no β-GAL activity in current enzymic profiling (Durmaz et al, 1995). From published data it would appear that the bas beagle isolates known as ' canine Bacteroides ' (former classification) (Shah & Collins, 1988 ;Syed, 1980) and those studied by Yamasaki et al (1990), as well as the cat strains that Love et al (1990) introduced as P. gingivalis subsp. felis, most likely belong to the species P. gulae.…”

“…The lesion is so called in human medicine because the chronic inflammatory process is able to induce granulomatous lesions mimicking a malignant tumour on clinical, ultrasonographic, and gross examination [5]. Actinomyces species are Gram-positive, branching, filamentous bacteria, and are common inhabitants of the feline oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract [6]. In cats Actinomyces have been associated with some cases of ocular [7], nasal [8], intracranial [9], pleural [10], peritoneal [11, 12], ileocolic junction [13] subcutaneous [14] and lymph nodal [15] disease.…”

Gastric inflammatory pseudotumour secondary to Actinomyces hordeovulneris infection in a cat

et al. 2015

BackgroundThe authors report the first case of feline gastric actinomycosis associated with infection by Actinomyces hordeovulneris.Case presentationA 4-year-old, neutered male, semi-feral European cat, with a 1 year history of chronic vomiting, was referred to the clinic. Abdominal ultrasound examination identified a hypoechoic focal transmural thickening with loss of normal wall layering and hyperechoic speckles at the gastric body. Initial gastroscopic examination showed a tumour-like gastric mass with an ulcerated depression at the level of the greater curvature. Histologic examination of endoscopic biopsy specimens was consistent with a severe lymphoplasmacytic gastritis. After 2 months, due to persistence of abdominal discomfort, surgical exploration and intraoperative sampling of gross abnormalities was recommended. Full thickness gastric wall biopsies, and fine needle aspiration of the gastric thickening and gastric lymph node, were performed. Histopathological examination identified a transmural pyogranulomatous gastritis. Aspirate samples of the gastric wall cultured positive, with colony morphology, biochemical testing and PCR of the 16 s rRNA gene compatible with Actinomyces hordeovulneris. After 4 months of treatment with cefovecin (8 mg/kg subcutaneously every 14 days), the vomiting completely resolved, as well as the ultrasonographic gastric alteration.ConclusionThis case report of feline gastric actinomycosis, caused by Actinomyces hordeovulneris, suggests that gastric bacterial infection should be considered in cases of focal gastric wall thickening associated with chronic vomiting in the cat, which may otherwise closely resemble neoplastic disease. Once a diagnosis of actinomycosis was obtained, a correct treatment with antibiotic therapy can resolve it.

“…In pet animals, these microorganisms were also identified in the oral microflora of cats with or without periodontal disease (Mallonee et al 1988, Love et al 1989, Love et al 1990) as well as in periodontal pockets of dogs (Hardham et al 2005, Nishiyama et al 2007, Riggio et al 2011, Senhorinho et al 2011). The two genera are likely to predominate in lesions of bovine periodontitis (Blobel et al 1987) and in sheep with "broken mouth" (McCourtie et al 1989, Duncan et al 2003.…”

Presence of Porphyromonas and Prevotella species in the oral microflora of cattle with periodontitis

et al. 2015

Abstratc: Bovine periodontitis is a progressive purulent infectious process associated with the presence of strictly and facultative anaerobic subgingival biofilm and epidemiologically related to soil management in large geographic areas of Brazil. This study aimed to detect species of the genera Porphyromonas and Prevotella, which occurr in periodontal pockets of cattle with lesions deeper than 5mm (n=26) and in gingival sulcus of animals considered periodontally healthy (n=25). Presence of the microorganisms was evaluated by independent-culture medium diagnostic method, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers of Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, P. endodontalis, P. gingivalis, P. gulae, Prevotella buccae, P. intermedia, P. loescheii, P. melaninogenica, P. nigrescens, P. oralis and P. tannerae. The species P. endodontalis (80.7%), P. melaninogenica (73.1%) and P. intermedia (61.5%) were the most predominant in samples of cattle with periodontitis. Regarding non-injured gingival sulcus of cattle, P. endodontalis (40%) and P. loeschei (40%) prevailed. Porphyromonas gingivalis, P. gulae and Prevotella tannerae were not detected in the 51 samples studied. Data evaluation by T test, enabled to verify that ocorrence of Porphyromonas asaccharolytica (p=0.000003), P. endodontalis (p=0.0023), Prevotella buccae (p=0.0017), P. intermedia (p=0.0020), P. melaninogenica (p=0.00006) and P. oralis (p=0.0028) is correlated with bovine periodontitis.
