Organisms resembling Histophilus ovis were isolated from sheep in Western Victoria in association with synovitis, septicaemia and/or abscessation in 2 to 8 week old lambs. Histopathological lesions in these lambs were indicative of bacterial embolism with thrombosis. Similar organisms were also isolated from sheep in 2 flocks with a high neonatal mortality rate. These isolations were from vaginal swabs from the ewes, placentas and from one lamb which had meningitis, ependymitis, choroid plexitis, hepatic necrosis and focal myocarditis. The morphology, cultural characteristics and biochemical activity of the organisms are described and it is suggested that the organisms may be better classified in the genus Actinobacillus.
在维多利亚州西部的绵羊中分离出了类似绵羊嗜组织菌的微生物，这些绵羊患有滑膜炎、败血症和/或脓肿，年龄在2至8周龄的羔羊身上出现这些症状。这些羔羊的组织病理学病变表明存在伴有血栓形成的细菌性栓塞。在另外2个新生羔羊死亡率很高的羊群中，也从绵羊身上分离出了类似的微生物。这些分离菌株来自母羊的阴道拭子、胎盘以及一只患有脑膜炎、室管膜炎、脉络丛炎、肝坏死和局灶性心肌炎的羔羊。描述了这些微生物的形态、培养特性和生化活性，并建议将这些微生物更好地归类于放线杆菌属。
