Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis Case in a Boer Goat X Turkish Hair Goat Crossbred

In this case report, it is intended to report the results of the clinical examination and microbiological analysis of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection which was detected (determined) in a goat. At Goat Application and Research Center at the University of Siirt, after the clinical examination carried out on a two-year-old female Boer goat x Turkish Hair goat crossbred, orange sized lymph nodes in a fluctuating viscosity were found in the right submandibular and left prescapular lymph nodules. Cream and slightly greenish malodorous content was taken from the lump from puncture. Swab sample taken from the content was sent to the University of Uludag, Faculty of Veterinary, Microbiology Laboratory in Stuart transport medium by cold chain. Swabs were inoculated onto % 7 sheep blood agar, and incubated at 37°C for 24-48 hours in both aerobic and microaerophilic conditions. After the microscopic morphology of the colonies was examined, biochemical tests were performed according to the suspected factors and the isolate of suspected bacteria was defined as Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis which was first isolated from Boer goat x Turkish Hair goat crossbred
