Dermatophilus congolensis associated bronchopneumonia in an alpaca

A severe, chronic, locally extensive granulomatous bronchopneumonia was diagnosed on post‐mortem and histopathological examination of an adult alpaca. Dermatophilus congolensis organisms were isolated from the lungs and genotypic identification of aerobic culture was confirmed by sequence analysis o...

Description
Summary:A severe, chronic, locally extensive granulomatous bronchopneumonia was diagnosed on post‐mortem and histopathological examination of an adult alpaca. Dermatophilus congolensis organisms were isolated from the lungs and genotypic identification of aerobic culture was confirmed by sequence analysis of the entire 16S rDNA gene. This is the first report of D. congolensis‐associated bronchopneumonia in any species.
