Abstract

Abstract: In the present study an Arcanobacterium hippocoleae strain isolated from a uterus swab of an apparently healthy mare could be identified by phenotypic properties, by MALDI-TOF MS analysis and genotypically by investigating the molecular targets 16S rDNA, 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region and the genes encoding the β subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase ( rpoB ), elongation factor tu ( tuf ) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( gap ). The presented data are one of the few reports about the species A. hippocoleae and might help to elucidate the role this species plays in infections of horses.
