S. suisinfections in 3 horses and a zebra and 4 cats are described; none of the cases had direct contact with swine.S. suiswas isolated in high numbers from a 5-month-old foal with septic polyarthritis, from an inapparent guttural pouch infection, from a 10-day-old foal which died with purulent pneumonia and pleuritis (Klebsiella pneumoniaealso isolated) and from an adult zebra with osteomyelitis of the mandible (anActinomyces pyogenes-like organism and a group CStreptococcuswere also isolated). In cats,S. suiswas isolated from 2 animals with a moist dermatitis (one withPasteurella multocida) and at PM examination from the lungs of a 2-week-old kitten with fibronecrotic pneumonia and from the lungs of a 2-year-old cat positive for feline leukaemia virus with an adhesive necrotising pleuropneumonia (Escherichia coliwas isolated from other samples in this case). It is concluded thatS. suisacts as an opportunistic pathogen in several animals species and that it has pathogenic potential in the horse; its pathogenic role in cats is less certain.
