Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It includes necrotic laryngitis [...], necrotic stomatitis of calves, necrotic rhinitis of pigs [...], foot rot of cattle [...], foot abscess of sheep [...], postparturient necrosis of the vagina and uterus, focal necrosis of the liver of cattle and sheep, quittor of horses [...], and numerous other necrotic lesions in ruminants and, less commonly, in pigs, horses, fowl, and rabbits. F. necrophorum is probably a secondary invader rather than a primary etiologic agent and is usually present as part of a mixed infection. However, its necrotizing exotoxin undoubtedly plays a role in the production of characteristic lesions. It is part of the normal flora of the mouth, intestine, and genital tract of many herbivores and omnivores and it is widespread in the environment. 1, record 2, English, - necrobacillosis
