Resumo

Many new, emerging and re-emerging diseases of humans are caused by pathogens which originate from animals or products of animal origin. Cotynebacterium lactis, a recently described species of the genus anynebacterium, was first isolated from milk of asymptomatic cows. In the present study a cutaneous abscess caused by C. lactis in a dog was recognized by cytologic and histologic examination in addition to 16S rRNA gene analysis of the microorganism. Therefore, C lactis should be included among other bacterial species recognized as emerging pathogens for companion animals. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
