Title:
Phenotypical and Genotypical Properties of an Arcanobacterium pluranimalium Strain Isolated from a Juvenile Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata)
Description:
<jats:p>The present study was designed to characterize phenotypically and genotypically an <jats:italic>Arcanobacterium pluranimalium</jats:italic> strain (<jats:italic>A. pluranimalium</jats:italic> 4868) following necropsy from a juvenile giraffe. The species identity could be confirmed by phenotypical investigations and by MALDI-TOF MS analysis, by sequencing the 16S rDNA, pluranimaliumlysin encoding gene <jats:italic>pla</jats:italic>, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase encoding gene <jats:italic>gap</jats:italic> with sequence similarities to <jats:italic>A. pluranimalium</jats:italic> reference strain DSM 13483<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> of 99.2%, 89.9%, and 99.1%, respectively. To our knowledge, the present study is the first phenotypic and genotypic characterization of an <jats:italic>A. pluranimalium</jats:italic> strain isolated from a giraffe.</jats:p>
