This organism has been shown to be able to degrade a number of different compounds including chlorobenzenes, and may be important for the biodegradation of these compounds.
Subject: NC_014914:1092546 Taylorella equigenitalis MCE9 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Taylorella equigenitalis; Taylorella; Alcaligenaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated in 2005 from the urethral fossa of a 4-year-old stallion from a stud farm in the Haute-Savoie, France. This species is a microaerophilic Gram-negative coccobacillus, classified in the Alcaligenaceae family. It is the causative agent of the contagious equine metritis (CEM), a sexually-transmitted infection of horses first reported in 1977, and actually detected in many countries and in various breeds of horses. CEM is characterized in infected mares by abundant mucopurulent vaginal discharge and a variable degree of vaginitis, endometritis and cervicitis that usually result in temporary infertility, whereas no clinical signs have been observed in stallions.
