*Neonatal polyarthritis by:
  −
**[[:Category:Streptococcus species|'''''Streptococcus'' spp.''']]
  −
***Via umbilicus
  −
***Also involves eyes and meninges
  −
**[[Escherichia coli|'''''Coliforms''''']]
  −
***Localises in joints and meninges in severe non-fatal neonatal colibacillosis
  −
***May remain as chronic arthritis in larger joints
  −
*Infections at any age:
  −
**'''''[[Corynebacterium pyogenes]]'''''
  −
***Suppurative arthrtis
  −
***Often due to pebetrating wound into or close to joints
  −
**[[:Category:Mycoplasmas|'''''Mycoplasma spp.''''']]
  −
***May be respinsible for some chronic cases but difficult to prove as hard to isolate
  −
***Fibrinous polyarthritis
  −
**[[:Category:Chlamydophila species|'''''Chlamydia sp.''''']]
  −
***Severe disease in young calves
  −
***High mortality
  −
***Can be seen in smears of synovial fluid from swollen joints
  −
***Oedematous and hyperaemic surrounding tissue
  −
***Possibly due to intrauterine infection
  −
**'''''[[Brucella abortus]]'''''
  −
***Uncommonly localises in joints

  −
**Destructive inflammatory lesion
  −
**Bacterial localise in ''[[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology#Fibrocartilagenous joints|''annulus fibrosis'']] -> may spread to local bone
