(T.) abortisuis isolated from pigs and bovines could be reliably identified by determination of phenotypic properties, genotypically by polymerase chain reaction with the help of A. (T.) abortisuis 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region specific oligonucleotide primer and by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time Of Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The latter appeared to be a promising tool for fast and cost effective identification of this species and might help to elucidate the role A. (T.) abortisuis plays in infections of pigs, bovines, possibly other animals or humans.}, year = {2012}, journal = {Berliner und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift}, volume = {125}, pages = {32-37}, month = {01/2012}, publisher = {Schlütersche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co.
