Abstract
An anaerobic, slightly curved, tapered, corrugated, rod-shaped bacterium with 0 > 12 flagella similar to Campylobacter spp. at each pole was isolated from 2 aborted lambs with focal hepatic necrosis. The organism stained faintyl gram-negative, but stained better by the Giemsa method. It was pleomorphic in culture, ranging from filaments containing granules to faintly staining spheroids.
