Two groups of Actinomyces-like bacteria isolated from purulent lesions in pigs, were characterized and compared with Actinomyces pyogenes of porcine origin. One group showed characteristics which differed in many respects from A. pyogenes but which corresponded more closely to those of the non-official species 'Actinomyces suis'. Certain carbohydrate reactions differed from those given in earlier descriptions. This group was isolated only from purulent vaginal discharge and aborted foeti. The other group resembled the 'A. suis'-like bacteria but differed in its colony morphology, hippurate and to some extent also in its cellobiose and gluconate reactions and in its habitat. It was concluded that 'A. suis' may occur in lesions other than mammary actinomycosis in areas where this disease is extremely rare, and that its natural habitat is the genital tract of pigs. Furthermore a probably related group exists, which is found in purulent lesions located mainly outside the porcine genital tract. These organisms appear to be as frequent in these types of lesions as A. pyogenes, with whom they can easily be confused in routine diagnostic bacteriology.
从猪的化脓性病变中分离出的两组类放线菌进行了特性鉴定，并与猪源化脓放线菌进行了比较。其中一组表现出的特性在许多方面与化脓放线菌不同，但与非官方物种“猪放线菌”的特性更为接近。某些碳水化合物反应与早期描述的不同。该组仅从脓性阴道分泌物和流产胎儿中分离得到。另一组类似于“猪放线菌”样细菌，但在菌落形态、马尿酸盐以及在某种程度上在纤维二糖和葡萄糖酸盐反应及其栖息地方面有所不同。得出的结论是，在这种疾病极为罕见的地区，“猪放线菌”可能出现在乳腺放线菌病以外的病变中，其天然栖息地是猪的生殖道。此外，存在一个可能相关的菌群，主要在猪生殖道以外的化脓性病变中发现。这些微生物在这些类型的病变中似乎与化脓放线菌一样常见，在常规诊断细菌学中很容易与化脓放线菌混淆。
