Anaerobic bacteria are important and overlooked bacterial pathogens of the lower respiratory tract in horses. Twenty-one of 46 horses with pleuropneumonia had anaerobic bacteria isolated from pleural fluid or from tracheobronchial aspirate. Bacteroides oralis and B melaninogenicus were the anaerobes most frequently isolated. Survival was significantly less for horses from which anaerobes were isolated than for horses from which anaerobes were not isolated. Putrid odor was associated with the pleural fluid and/or breath in 62% of the horses from which anaerobes were isolated. In these horses, the survival rate was significantly less than for horses from which odoriferous specimens were not isolated.
厌氧菌是马下呼吸道重要但常被忽视的细菌病原体。46例胸膜肺炎马中，有21例从胸腔积液或气管支气管灌洗液中分离出厌氧菌。口腔拟杆菌和产黑素拟杆菌是最常分离出的厌氧菌。分离出厌氧菌的马的存活率显著低于未分离出厌氧菌的马。62%分离出厌氧菌的马的胸腔积液和/或呼出气体有腐臭味。在这些马中，存活率显著低于未分离出有气味样本的马。
