  • Title: Positive Streptobacillus moniliformis PCR in guinea pigs likely due to Leptotrichia spp.
    Author: Boot R, Van de Berg L, Reubsaet FA, Vlemminx MJ.
    Journal: Vet Microbiol; 2008 Apr 30; 128(3-4):395-9. PubMed ID: 18023543.
    Abstract:
    Streptobacillus moniliformis is a zoonotic bacterium. We obtained positive S. moniliformis PCR results in oral swab samples from guinea pigs from an experimental colony and the breeding colony of origin. Comparison of the DNA sequence of an amplicon with deposited 16S rDNA sequences revealed that Leptotrichia sp. can be the source of a false positive S. moniliformis PCR outcome.
