Summary<\/span>
Streptococcus (S.) castoreus was isolated from seven beavers (Castor fiber), which were found dead in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany, and submitted to the BerlinBrandenburg State laboratory for post mortem diagnostics. The isolates originated from various inflammatory processes where they were associated with other Gram negative and Gram positive aerobic and\/or anaerobic bacteria (i. e. Actinobacillus sp., species of the Actinomycetaceae family, coliform bacteria, Fusobacterium sp., Prevotella sp.), but also from cloacal swabs. Testing their antimicrobial susceptibility, all S. castoreus isolates and the type strain S. castoreus (DSM 175\ufeff6T) were classified as being susceptible to penicillin G, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, 1st generation cephalosporins, erythromycin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicole but intermediate to gentamicin. Considering both the polymicrobial flora isolated from the inflamed tissues and the fact that antimicrobials of a narrow spectrum (namely penicillins, 1st generation cephalosporins, macrolids and lincosamids) can be toxic to rodents, chloramphenicol might be a suitable drug for treatment of beavers suffering from S. castoreus (mixed)-bacterial infections.<\/p>

Zusammenfassung<\/span>
Aus den Tierk\u00f6rpern von sieben Bibertotfunden (Castor fiber) im Bundesland Brandenburg, welche zur postmortalen Diagnostik an das Landeslabor Berlin-Brandenburg eingesandt worden waren, wurde Streptococcus (S.) castoreus angez\u00fcchtet. Die Isolate stammten \u00fcberwiegend aus unterschiedlichen entz\u00fcndlichen Prozessen bzw. aus Kloakentupfern. Sie waren in der Regel mit anderen gramnegativen bzw. grampositiven, aeroben und\/oder anaeroben Erregern (wie z. B. Actinobacillus sp., Bakterien der Familie der Actinomycetaceae, coliformen Keimen, Fusobacterium sp. und Prevotella sp.) vergesellschaftet. Alle S. castoreus-Isolate, wie auch der Typstamm S. castoreus (DSM 175\ufeff6T), erwiesen sich in der antimikrobiellen Empfindlichkeitspr\u00fcfung als sensibel gegen Penicillin G, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin-Clavulans\u00e4ure, Cephalosporine der ersten Generation, Erythromycin, Tetracyclin und Chloramphenicol sowie intermedi\u00e4r gegen\u00fcber Gentamicin. Basierend auf dem Ergebnis der Resistenzpr\u00fcfung und unter Ber\u00fccksichtigung der Tatsachen, dass erstens in der Studie \u00fcberwiegend bakterielle Mischinfektionen bei den Bibern nachgewiesen wurden und zweitens Antibiotika mit einem schmalen Wirkspektrum (wie z. B. Penicilline, Cephalosporine der ersten Generation, Macrolide und Lincosamide) toxisch f\u00fcr Nagetiere sein k\u00f6nnen, scheint Chloramphenicol ein geeigneter Wirkstoff zur Behandlung von S. castoreus (Misch)-Infektionen bei Bibern zu sein. <\/p>
