The first isolation of Eubacterium suis in Hungary.

Eubacterium suis was isolated from the preputium of seven out of 16 mature boars on two farms and from the urinary bladder of one out of five sows originating from a third herd. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of the isolated strains were identical to that of the reference strain of E. suis ATTC 33144. Three out of four strains isolated from Farm A were successfully subcultured aerobically, and then anaerobically again. E. suis together with Proteus mirabilis was isolated from cystitis of a sow 4 days after artificial insemination. These are the first strains of E. suis isolated in Hungary.
