title: Trueperella abortisuis, an emerging pathogen isolated from pigs in Germany.
abstract: In the present study four Trueperella (T.) abortisuis strains isolated from an umbilical swab, two anal swabs and from a placenta after abortion of four pigs, respectively, could successfully be identified phenotypically, by MALDI-TOF MS analysis and genotypically by amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequence and gene sodA encoding superoxide dismutase A as additional molecular target. All four T. abortisuis were isolated together with various other bacterial species indicating that the pathogenic importance of this novel species remains unclear. However, according to the literature and to the results of the present study T. abortisuis could be recovered from samples of animals in Japan and in different microbiological laboratories in Germany emphasizing its increasing importance.
