Isolation and characterization of Buchananella hordeovulneris from feline pyothorax

A 1-year-old female mixed-breed cat was admitted to a veterinary hospital in Southern Brazil with tachypnea, low thoracic amplitude, restrictive breathing pattern, and cyanotic mucous membranes 2 days after elective castration surgery. Radiography revealed pleural effusion, and approximately 100–200...

Description
Summary:A 1-year-old female mixed-breed cat was admitted to a veterinary hospital in Southern Brazil with tachypnea, low thoracic amplitude, restrictive breathing pattern, and cyanotic mucous membranes 2 days after elective castration surgery. Radiography revealed pleural effusion, and approximately 100–200 mL of fluid was collected by thoracocentesis. The reddish purulent exudate contained large numbers of yellowish-white granules with branched filamentous structures on cytological examination. The fluid was plated on blood agar and incubated under aerobiosis at 37 °C. On the third day of incubation, circular, dry, and opaque colonies, measuring
