AB  - Histophilus somni (former name: Haemophilus somnus) is a Gram-negative, 
      facultative pathogen bacterium that colonises the mucous membranes of cattle and 
      sheep, however it was also described in American bison and bighorn sheep. It can 
      cause local or generalised diseases and asymptomatic carriers can also occur. The 
      presence and the etiological role of this microorganism have not been confirmed 
      in any other domesticated species yet. The purpose of this study was to prove the 
      presence of H. somni in goats by bacterial isolation. Nasal, vaginal or 
      praeputial swab samples were collected from 205 goats in 10 flocks. H. somni 
      strains were isolated from 2 out of 10 flocks; in one flock 10 H. somni strains 
      were isolated from the genital mucosa of 17 goats, while a single H. somni strain 
      was cultured from a vagina of 26 animals in the other flock. Partial 
      amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of three H. somni strains 
      verified the identification. The comparative examination of carbon source 
      metabolism using the Biolog Microstation ID System (Biolog, Ca) showed a close 
      relationship of the caprine strains, while they were less related to H. somni 
      type strain CCUG-36157 of bovine origin. H. somni strains were isolated only in 
      the oestrus season from goat flocks with sheep contact. This is the first paper 
      on isolation of H. somni from goats.
