ABSTRACT
One ferret (Mustela putorius furo) from Finland and two ferrets from Austria, aged 1-4.5 years and of both genders, were presented with pyogranulomatous subcutaneous inflammation affecting the inguinal, preputial and femoral regions, respectively. Histologically, microorganisms were detected within the lesions. The organisms had a capsule that stained positively by the periodic acid-Schiff reaction. Pseudomonas spp. were cultured from the lesions in two cases. In the third case, electron microscopy revealed a prokaryotic organism surrounded by an electron lucent matrix. 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed highest sequence homology to Pseudomonas luteola in all three cases. In combination with recent reports of pleuropneumonia in ferrets due to P. luteola infection, these cases might indicate a predisposition of ferrets for infection by these bacteria.
