Isolation of Actinobacillus seminis from a goat with clinical epididymo-orchitis in Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2014 The present study reports the first isolation of Actinobacillus seminis from a goat in Brazil. A four-year-old Moxotó breeding goat in a flock of 70 goats and 65 sheep reared together in the county of Patos, semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil, showed clinical signs of unilateral orchitis and epididymitis. Diagnosis of A.

Development of a novel high resolution melting assay for identification and differentiation of all known 19 serovars of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. [PDF]
Microbiologyopen, 2022 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infection is a worldwide problem in the pig industry. It is important to differentiate between the 19 serovars using an efficient molecular tool, thereby improving presently available diagnostic methods. Knowing the prevalent serovar, the right vaccines could be administered and pigs potentially carrying virulent strains

Identification of Actinobacillus seminis as the cause of abortion in sheep by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and whole genome sequencing [PDF]
Italian Journal of Food SafetyActinobacillus seminis is a gram-negative bacterium that affects reproductive organs, causing epididymitis, low fertility, and occasional abortions in sheep and goats. The virulence factors and the pathogenicity mechanisms of A.

PCR methods for rapid identification and characterization of Actinobacillus seminis strains. [PDF]
J Clin Microbiol, 1998 ABSTRACT Twenty-four isolates of Actinobacillus seminis were typed by PCR ribotyping, repetitive extragenic palindromic element (REP)-based PCR, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-based PCR. Five types were distinguished by REP-PCR, and nine types were distinguished by ERIC-PCR. PCR

Comparative Genomics of the First and Complete Genome of "Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum" Supports the Novel Species Hypothesis. [PDF]
Int J Genomics, 2018 “Actinobacillus porcitonsillarum” is considered a nonpathogenic member of the Pasteurellaceae family, which phenotypically resembles the pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Previous studies suggested that “A. porcitonsillarum” may represent a new species closely related to Actinobacillus minor, yet no full genome has been sequenced so far.

Identification of an immunogenic protein of Actinobacillus seminis that is present in microvesicles. [PDF]
Can J Vet Res, 2006 Actinobacillus seminis is a gram-negative bacterium of the Pasteurellaceae family that is involved in ovine epididymitis. Looking for a protein specific to this species, we determined the protein profile of subcellular fractions of A. seminis (American Type Culture Collection number 15768): proteins from the outer membrane (OMPs), inner membrane (IMPs),

A model for demonstrating the adhesion of Actinobacillus seminis to epithelial cells. [PDF]
Can J Vet Res, 1991 The objective of this study was to demonstrate that a field isolate of Actinobacillus seminis (As8C) will adhere to epithelial cells and that this adhesion can be inhibited by pretreating the bacteria with mouse serum containing polyclonal antibodies (PoAbs) prepared against this isolate.
