Serodiagnosis of Dermatophilus congolensis infection by counterimmunoelectrophoresis

Research in Veterinary Science, 1982
Sixty-one sera from animals that had contact with Dermatophilus congolensis were examined by comparing three serological methods; counterimmunoelectrophoresis, passive haemagglutination, and agar gel diffusion, and by using four different antigenic extracts of D congolensis.

Dermatophilus congolensis and “Hairy” Leukoplakia

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1988
The authors report the first human case (to our knowledge) of infection of the oral mucosa by Dermatophilus congolensis. Septate branching filaments morphologically identical to those of D. congolensis were identified in the lingual epithelium of a male homosexual employed as an animal handler.

HUMAN INFECTION WITH DERMATOPHILUS CONGOLENSIS *

Medical Journal of Australia, 1962
Dermatophilosis is a skin disease in animals and humans caused by the actinomycete Dermatophilus congolensis. This microorganism causes the skin disease in sheep commonly referred to in Australia as "lumpy wool" or mycotic dermatitis. One proven case of human dermatophilosis and two cases with features which are clinically highly suggestive of the ...

Dermatophilus congolensis Infection in Goats in Tanzania

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2001
When goats in Eastern Tanzania were screened for skin diseases, Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from the skin lesions in 8 of 484 animals examined. In one severely affected case, the disease was also characterized by histological studies (Gram stain, Giemsa stain and routine HE studies) and electron microscopy.

Hemolytic Interactions of Dermatophilus congolensis

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 1992
SummaryThe strains of Dermatophilus congolensis grew on blood agar with washed sheep erythrocytes with marked total hemolysis. In testing for hemolytic interactions they gave a significant synergistic effect of a characteristic shape with Rhodococcus equi and Streptococcus agalactiae, whereas with Staphylococcus aureus producing beta hemolysin and with

Pitted Keratolysis and Dermatophilus congolensis

Archives of Dermatology, 1972
Pitted keratolysis is a multifocal superficial erosion of the stratum corneum, usually limited to the soles of the feet. A causative agent has been described previously, but its identity is unclear. While studying a lesion of pitted keratolysis, we found an actinomycete with the morphologic appearance of Dermatophilus congolensis , the cause of ...

An in vivo method of assay for Dermatophilus congolensis

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
An in vivo method of assay for Dermatophitus congolensis in rats is described. The optimal conditions for preparing skin before infection and subsequently harvesting the zoospores from infected skin were investigated. These experiments showed that clipping the skin had no effect on infection with this bacterium and that when the infected skin was ...

Subcutaneous infection with Dermatophilus congolensis in a cat

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1976
Abstract Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from a chronic inflammatory lesion in a lymph node from a cat. The organism was successfully transmitted to the skin of sheep and laboratory animals where it produced an exudative dermatitis and when injected subcutaneously into a cat an abscess developed. The salient characteristics of the organism and

Chemotherapy of epidermal infection with Dermatophilus congolensis

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1967
Abstract The action of a number of chemotherapeutic agents on the actinomycete Dermatophilus congolensis , was studied in cultures and in the epidermis of parenterally infected guinea-pigs and sheep. Of the agents giving bacteriostatic concentrations in serum all eight arrested the hyphal invasion of guinea-pig epidermis, at least temporarily.

Quantification of keratinolytic activity from Dermatophilus congolensis

Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 1991
The bacterium Dermatophilus congolensis is the causative agent of pitted keratolysis, a skin disease. Infection occurs mainly in keratinized tissues and it is necessary for the organism to produce and excrete exoenzymes which are able to degrade keratin.
