[Pseudomonas aeruginosa. II. Occurrence in blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) in a Danish fur farm].
Ps. aeruginosa were demonstrated fairly often in samples from the rectum (9,1%) and external genitalia (3,7%) of clinically healthy blue foxes. These animals are considered carriers and thus constitute a risk of infecting other animals, especially those already debilitated. The same organism was isolated as pure cultures from the intrauterine contents in a case of pyometra with septicaemia and fatal outcome and in two cases of puerperal endometritis. In these 3 cases there may have been a question of "superinfection" with this latent pathogen.
