Trueperella pyogeneswas isolated from a dog and a cat with a mixed infection withBrucella abortus. Both lived on a dairy cattle farm with a history of regular cases of abortion and mastitis. Identification of the bacteria was done by means of MALDI-TOF MS, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) based oncpn60, partial 16S rRNA sequencing, and growth on Loeffler Serum Medium. Isolation ofTrueperella pyogeneson the dairy farm highlights its neglected role in reproduction failure and draws attention to its effects in the dairy industry in Egypt. Diagnosis and control of abortion in Egypt should includeTrueperella pyogenesas one of possible causes of abortion.
