Abstract
AbstractPericarditis means inflammation in the pericardial sac. Pericarditis is divided into three categories based on morphology, including fibrinous, purulent, and constrictive. In the present study, a 7‐month‐old male Ghezel breed sheep was examined for low weighting rate for three months. Tachypnea, tachycardia, heart friction sound, absence of fever and normal appetite were recorded in the clinical examination. In the patient's history, there was a history of perforated chest trauma behind the left scapula about three months ago. After the echocardiography examination and bacteriology procedures, purulent pericarditis caused by Proteus mirabilis was diagnosed. The bacterium was analysed using genome sequencing and new strain called Abhar114 was diagnosed. This is the first report of pericarditis caused by Proteus mirabilis in sheep.
