ACTINOBACILLUS A. lignieresi
It is widely spread through out the cattle population of all countries.
The method of transmission is not known. It is extremely pleomorphic under normal circumstances. It varies in size from coccoid form 0.4 micron in diameter to elongated filaments up to 15 micron long. It is non motile, non capsulated and non spore forming. It has tendency to form in aggregates or clumps in infected tissues forming brownish white granules.
It is aerobic and growth is increased by the presence of CO2. The
optimum temperature is 37 degree C and requires slightly alkaline serum medium. On agar surface, growth is scant, bluish in color, transparent and flat. In nutrient broth, it forms a distinct pellicle.
It is killed at 60 degree C within 15 minutes. It is not resistant to
disinfectants, sunlight or dessication.
It produces acid from glucose, maltose, mannitol, fructose, galactose,
and sucrose. No change in litmus milk, indol not produced, nitrates reduced to nitrites, methylene blue is reduced and methyl red test is negative.
It causes the formation of abcesses in the cervical region, particularly
in the submaxillary lymph nodes. It causes “wooden tongue” in cattle.
Immunity is not produced by the infection. For diagnosis, break the
brownish white granules and stain the smear with gram stain. The presence of small, coccoid, gram-negative rods is indicative of A. lignieresi.
