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. seminis infection was confirmed by association of clinical findings, bacterial isolation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This result suggests that A. seminis may be an additional cause of infertility in goats, and that sheep may be the source of infection because the mixed farming system allows the contact between sheep and goats in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil.
本研究报告了巴西首次从山羊体内分离出精液放线杆菌。在巴西东北部半干旱地区帕托斯县，一群共饲养了70只山羊和65只绵羊的羊群中，一只4岁的莫肖托种用山羊出现了单侧睾丸炎和附睾炎的临床症状。通过临床症状、细菌分离和16S rRNA基因测序相结合，确诊为精液放线杆菌感染。这一结果表明，精液放线杆菌可能是山羊不育的另一个原因，而且绵羊可能是感染源，因为这种混合养殖系统使得巴西东北部半干旱地区的绵羊和山羊能够接触。
