title: Trueperella pyogenes as cause of a facial abscess in a grey slender loris (Loris lydekkerianus nordicus)--a case report.
abstract: In the present study a Trueperella (T.) pyogenes strain isolated from an abscess on the left side of the face of a six year old grey slender loris (Loris lydekkerianus nordicus) could successfully be identified phenotypically, by MALDI-TOF MS analysis and genotypically using T. pyogenes superoxide dismutase A encoding gene sodA and T. pyogenes 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region specific oligonucleotide primers. The T. pyogenes strain could additionally be characterized by PCR-mediated amplification of several known and putative virulence factor encoding genes which revealed the presence of the genes plo encoding pyolysin, nanH encoding neuraminidase NanH and the genes fimA, fimC, fimE encoding the fimbrial subunits FimA, FimC and FimE but not the genes cbpA and nanP encoding collagen-binding protein CbpA and neuraminidase NanP, respectively. The present data give the first information about properties of T. pyogenes isolated from a monkey.
