Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biotype 2 was isolated in pure culture or as the predominant isolate from the lungs of 9 growing and finishing pigs with pleuropneumonia. Gross and microscopic lesions resembled those caused by A. pleuropneumoniae biotype 1 serotypes (Nos. 1, 5, and 7) traditionally seen in the United States. The overall mortality rate for growing and finishing pigs on this 1,200-sow farrow-to-finish farm ranged from 0.37% to 0.84% per month from July 1990 to February 1991, and mortality due to respiratory disease ranged from 0.17% to 0.52% per month for the same period. This Actinobacillus species did not require V factor (no satellitism on blood agar with a Staphylococcus streak), was strongly beta-hemolytic, and demonstrated restriction fragment length polymorphisms in hybridization studies with A. suis, A. lignieresii, and A. equuli. Biochemically, the isolate most closely resembled A. pleuropneumoniae, and a DNA fragment considered specific for A. pleuropneumoniae biotypes 1 and 2 was demonstrated using polymerase chain reaction. Necrohemorrhagic pleuropneumonia similar to that caused by A. pleuropneumoniae biotype 1 was reproduced experimentally in 2 4-week-old pigs inoculated intratracheally with broth cultures of the A. pleuropneumoniae biotype 2. This study demonstrated the presence of A. pleuropneumoniae biotype 2 in the United States.
