Differentiation of Moraxella Bovoculi sp. nov. from other Coccoid Moraxellae by the Use of Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Endonuclease Analysis of Amplified DNA

Abstract excerpt

Moraxella ovis was historically the only coccoid Moraxella identified in cultures of ocular fluid from cattle with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) and could be morphologically and biochemically differentiated from Moraxella bovis. Moraxella bovoculi sp. nov. is a recently characterized Moraxella isolated from ulcerated eyes of calves with IBK in northern California in 2002. Like Moraxella ovis, M....
