[Hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mink in Argentina].
This work describes the first Haemorrhagic Pneumonia cases in minks not only from Argentina, but from South hemisphere as well. Epidemiology, symptomatology and macro and microscopic lesions found were similar to those described in other countries. The diagnosis was done by isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in large numbers from affected lungs, and serotype no. 6 (Difco system) was the most frequent. Haemorrhagic Pneumonia was experimentally reproduced after infecting intranasally narcotized minks.
