Bacterial and fungi were isolated from different tissues (brain, liver, heart) taken from 81 dead newborn mink originating from Aleutian disease (AD) infected and AD-non-infected farms. Of the 123 isolates obtained, 96% were bacterial isolates (predominantly Gram-negative) and 4% were fungi. The prevalence of microorganisms appeared less common in kits from AD-non-infected farms (55%) than from AD-infected farms (73%), although the difference was not significant. The liver was the most highly infected site in both groups and generally was only infected by one microorganism species. Proteus spp (23%), Escherichia coli (16%), Staphylococcus aureus (11%) and Enterobacter cloacae (9%) were the most frequently isolated germs. These findings are similar to those of other studies but the role of these microorganisms as specific pathogens or secondary invaders remains controversial.
从81只死于阿留申病（AD）感染农场和未感染AD农场的新生水貂的不同组织（脑、肝、心）中分离出细菌和真菌。在获得的123株分离菌中，96%为细菌分离株（主要为革兰氏阴性菌），4%为真菌。未感染AD农场的幼崽中微生物的患病率（55%）似乎低于感染AD农场的幼崽（73%），尽管差异不显著。肝脏是两组中感染最严重的部位，通常仅被一种微生物感染。变形杆菌属（23%）、大肠杆菌（16%）、金黄色葡萄球菌（11%）和阴沟肠杆菌（9%）是最常分离出的病菌。这些发现与其他研究相似，但这些微生物作为特定病原体或继发性入侵者的作用仍存在争议。
