  • Title: Bovine abortions associated with Bacteroides fragilis fetal infection.
    Author: Kraipowich NR, Morris DL, Thompson GL, Mason GL.
    Journal: J Vet Diagn Invest; 2000 Jul; 12(4):369-71. PubMed ID: 10907869.
    Abstract:
    Two Santa Gertrudis cattle from a herd of 105 aborted within a 24-hour period. Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from tissues of each aborted fetus. Histopathologic lesions included placentitis and bronchopneumonia in which gram-negative, rod-shaped organisms were visible. The diagnostic workup failed to reveal other causes of abortion. Anaerobes are rarely implicated in bovine abortions, and no other report was found that described abortion in cattle due to B. fragilis.
