THE FIRST ISOLATION OF EUBACTERIUM-SUIS IN HUNGARY

The morphological and biochemica l characteristics of the isolated strains were identical to that of th e reference strain of E. suis ATTC 33144. Three out of four strains is olated from Farm A were successfully subcultured aerobically, and then anaerobically again. E. suis together with Proteus mirabilis was isol ated from cystitis of a sow 4 days after artificial insemination. Thes e are the first strains of E. suis isolated in Hungary.
