Arcanobacterium /Ar·ca·no·bac·te·ri·um/ (ahr-ka″no-bak-tēr´e-um) a genus of irregular, rod-shaped, non–spore-forming, gram-positive bacteria. A. haemoly´ticus causes human infection that is manifested in adolescents as pharyngitis and a scarlatiniform rash similar to those of streptococcal infection. Arcanobacterium a genus of pleomorphic gram-positive actinomycete bacteria previously grouped in the genus Corynebacterium. Arcanobacterium hippocoleae isolated from vaginitis in horses. Arcanobacterium phocae isolated from a variety of body systems in seals, but the pathogenic significance is uncertain. Arcanobacterium pluranimalium isolated from lung abscesses in deer and liver abscesses, mastitis, endometritis, abortions and endocarditis in cattle. Arcanobacterium pyogenes capable of producing suppurative lesions in any organ or tissue in animals. In farm animals, especially ruminants, it is the most common bacteria found in infected wounds and abscesses. An important cause of mastitis in cattle. Previously called Actinomyces pyogenes and Corynebacterium pyogenes. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Some of the pathogens identified as the cause of culture-negative endocarditis in this patient cohort include Bartonella, Coxiella, and Arcanobacterium. Other potentially pathogenic bacteria isolated occasionally included Arcanobacterium progenes, [alpha]-hemolytic streptococci, and several Enterobacteriaceae, but they could not be correlated with either the clinical signs or the presence of P. The vanA gene cluster is located on transposons or related elements (6) and has also been found in nonenterococcal species such as Arcanobacterium (Corynebacterium) haemolyticum, Oerskovia turbata, Bacillus circulans, and Streptococcus gallolyticus (13-16). |
