Článek o výskytu grampozitivních patogenních aerobních a mikroaerofilních bakterií u koní společně s popisem jejich charakteristických vlastností a jejich patogenního účinku.

The aim of this study was to characterise the genera and species of Gram-positive aerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms isolated from pathological processes and lesions in horses. In the period 2009?2014, 449 clinical samples from horses were examined. Of these, 229 (51%) were collected from the respiratory tract, 121 (26.9%) from the skin, 40 (8.9%) from the gastrointestinal tract, 40 (8.9%) from the eyes, 8 (1.8%) from the urinary tract, 6 (1.3%) from the musculoskeletal system, 4 (0.9%) from the lymphatic system and 1 (0.2%) from milk. The isolates were presumptively identified phenotypically, and identification was confirmed by molecularphenotypic MALDI-TOF.
