Abstract
Summary: Moraxella ovis was isolated in pure cultures from the eyes of Israeli Holstein cattle on three farms in different parts of Israel with clinical signs of Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis. Environmental and management similarities and differences between the farms involved are described. Sensitivity to antimicrobial agents was assessed by a standardized, in vitro disc diffusion test. The isolates were not pathogenic when inoculated into the eyes of guinea pigs or calves. This is the first record of the agent in Israel.Zusammenfassung: Moraxella ovis bei Fällen von infektiöser boviner Keratokonjunktivitis in IsraelErstmals in Israel wurden in 3 Betrieben Moraxella ovis in Reinkultur von den Konjunktiven israelischer Holstein‐Rinder mit klinischen Anzeichen einer infektiösen Keratokonjunktivitis beim Rind isoliert. übereinstimmungen und Unterschiede in den Umweltbedingungen und im Management der Betriebe wurden beschrieben. Hierbei war die große räumliche Trennung der Bestände von Bedeutung. Die Resistenzeigenschaften des Erregers konnten mit einem standardisierten in vitro‐Diskdiffusionstest bestimmt werden.Die Isolate erwiesen sich im Infektionsversuch an Konjunktiven bei Meerschweinchen und Kälbern als nichtpathogen.Keywords
