Abstract
Two tributyrin hydrolysis negative Moraxella isolates, from cases of keratoconjuncitivits in Camelus dromedarius (Canary Islands), showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Moraxella canis. DNA relatedness of 79% to the M. canis type strain confirmed the identity of the isolates as a tributyrin hydrolysis negative biovar of M. canis.
