“…14 Furthermore, transmission of S. pneumoniae among captive animals is usually associated with contact with asymptomatic or symptomatic humans, leading to sporadic outbreaks so it is an important zooanthropozoonosis. 17 The pathogenic potential of S. bovis group for non-human primates it is still unclear, but in humans, these bacteria are normally isolated from oral, colon, and vaginal secretions from healthy patients, with evidence of a SGSP ascending intrauterine infection leading to a postpartum bacteremia in the mother and neonate, 4,18 being considered an opportunistic pathogen.…”

Streptococcus pasteurianus, also known as S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus (SGSP), is a Gram-positive coccoid bacterium that belongs to S. bovis group and was previously identified as S. bovis biotype II/2. 1 This group of bacteria is responsible for human infections, resulting in endocarditis, bacteremia, hepatobiliary disease, colonic lesions, and neonatal meningitis. [1][2][3][4] SGSP is also considered an underreported zoonotic pathogen, being isolated from piglet's brain with meningitis 5 and from goslings and turkeys with neurological signs and sepsis. [6][7][8] There is no previous report of SGSP infection in a non-human primate. Herein, we describe a case of aortic valvular endocarditis with sepsis, caused by SGSP in a puerperal captive emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator).

“…A clinical differential diagnosis in a marmoset with sudden onset of lethargy, anorexia, or sudden death without premonitory signs is a Klebsiella pneumonia infection. 110 Klebsiella pneumonia is a zoonotic, opportunistic bacterium found in the nasopharyngeal and intestinal microbiomes in animals and humans. In marmosets, infection can present with diarrhea, but K pneumonia can also cause septicemia and pneumonia (hence its name).…”

Marmosets are becoming more utilized in biomedical research due to multiple advantages including (1) a nonhuman primate of a smaller size with less cost for housing, (2) physiologic similarities to humans, (3) translatable hepatic metabolism, (4) higher numbers of litters per year, (5) genome is sequenced, molecular reagents are available, (6) immunologically similar to humans, (7) transgenic marmosets with germline transmission have been produced, and (8) are naturally occurring hematopoietic chimeras. With more use of marmosets, disease surveillance over a wide range of ages of marmosets has been performed. This has led to a better understanding of the disease management of spontaneous diseases that can occur in colonies. Knowledge of clinical signs and histologic lesions can assist in maximizing the colony’s health, allowing for improved outcomes in translational studies within biomedical research. Here, we describe some basic husbandry, biology, common spontaneous diseases, and animal model applications for the common marmoset in biomedical research.

“…Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a gram-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that causes erysipeloid in humans and erysipelas in animals, including swine erysipelas [1] , [2] , [3] . Due to economical importance of swine erysipelas in husbandry, an epizootic of E. rhusiopathiae is controlled by administration of commercially available E. rhusiopathiae vaccines in many countries [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] . In Russia and a number of European countries E. rhusiopathiae live attenuated vaccine strain VR-2 is widely used for this purpose [9] , [10] , [11] .…”

Data on the draft genome sequence of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae strain VR-2 is presented in this report. E. rhusiopathiae strain VR-2 is a commercial attenuated vaccine widely used in Russia and a number European countries for immunization of pigs against swine erysipelas. The draft genome sequence of 1,704,727 bp in length included 1415 protein sequences, 50 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes according NCBI Prokaryotic Genomes Automatic Annotation Pipeline results. The draft genome sequence data of E. rhusiopathiae strain VR-2 is available in GenBank under the accession nos. RJTK00000000.1, PRJNA504614 and SAMN10395786 for Genome, Bioproject and Biosample, respectively. The obtained sequence data may be helpful for searching genetic markers of VR-2, aimed to develop assays to discriminate between field isolates and this vaccine strain of E. rhusiopathiae .
