title: [Local and systemic infections with bacteria of group EF-4 in dogs, cats and in a badger: bacteriologic and pathologico-anatomic results].
abstract: Bacteria of Group EF-4 were isolated in 7 dogs and in 5 cats from local purulent lesions in areas of natural openings of the head and from bite wounds, from lungs with focal necrotizing pneumonia in 2 additional cats and from internal organs in a badger with septicemia. The organisms grew mostly in pure culture. In conventional biochemical tests, 12 isolates were shown to belong to biovar EF-4a and 3 isolates to EF-4b. Classification as Group EF-4 was confirmed by assimilation tests performed with the commercially available gallery ATB 32 GN. Results of this study indicate that in veterinary medicine, bacteria of Group EF-4 are not only important from an epidemiological point of view, but that they may be more pathogenic for animals than considered hitherto.
