Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: The physiology, systematics and ecology of the species that currently compose the actinobacterial genus Crossiella is presented. The phylogenetic position of the taxa within this genus, including Crossiella cryophila and Crossiella equi relative to the species in other genera within the suborder Pseudonocardineae is discussed. Methods for isolation, preservation, and characterization are detailed. The role of Crossiella equi as an etiological agent in equine nocardioform placentitis is discussed. |
