A 22-year-old male has recently adopted an Akita puppy that develops diarrhea soon after he takes it home. He soon develops bloody diarrhea and visits his physician
The doctor submits a stool for routine culture and ova and parasite examination. The O & P examination was negative. The routine culture reveals no Salmonella, Shigella, or verotoxin producing E. coli. On special medium, at a unique temperature and atmosphere, a slightly spreading, gray, flat colony is observed.
