A Corynebacterium identified as Corynebacterium bovis has been isolated from a chronic testicular abscess and the lung of a laboratory rabbit. The strain, on intravenous injection, reproduced a similar disease in the inguinal and vulval region of an experimental rabbit. Sera from both animals showed increasing titres of agglutinating antibody for the isolated Corynebacterium and for kaolin particles sensitised with the phosphatide antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is suggested that the pathogenicity of C bovis for dairy animals be re-evaluated in view of the uncertainty in the literature.
从一只实验兔的慢性睾丸脓肿和肺部分离出一种被鉴定为牛棒状杆菌的棒状杆菌。将该菌株静脉注射到另一只实验兔的腹股沟和外阴区域后，引发了类似疾病。两只动物的血清中，针对分离出的棒状杆菌以及用结核分枝杆菌磷脂抗原致敏的高岭土颗粒的凝集抗体滴度均呈上升趋势。鉴于文献中的不确定性，建议重新评估牛棒状杆菌对奶牛的致病性。
