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.

A Study of the Ultrastructure and the Life Cycle of Dermatophilus congolensis

Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe B, 2010
Summary The smooth form of Dermatophilus congolensis was studied in the scanning electron microscope and both rough and smooth forms were studied in the transmission electron microscope. Flagellate zoospores and non-flagellate cocci were found dividing.

Dermatophilus congolensis Chronic Nodular Disease in Man

Pediatrics, 1974
Dermatophilus congolensis is a common infectious agent among animals. However, infectivity in man has only rarely been observed. We report the association of D. congolensis with a chronic nodular disease in an 8-year-old boy. The time of exposure to the organism was unknown but may have occurred in utero.

Electrophoretic and antigenic characterisation of Dermatophilus congolensis extracellular products

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997
Dermatophilus congolensis is the causative agent of bovine dermatophilosis and lumpy wool in sheep. Two field isolates of D. congolensis, one each from a cow in Ghana and a sheep in Scotland, were cultured for 24-72 h in a synthetic medium based on RPMI-1640.

Experimental vaccination of rats with Dermatophilus congolensis zoospores

Research in Veterinary Science, 1988
The number of zoospores recoverable from the skin of rats five days after challenge with Dermatophilus congolensis, was reduced if the rats had been injected intradermally with zoospores of this bacterium two weeks previously. The difference between zoospore recovery in vaccinated and control rats was increased when the challenge was applied to ...

Studies on Dermatophilus congolensis zoospores

1979
A surface viable count of Dermatophilus congolensis colonies on blood agar was found to be a satisfactory method of assaying zoospores in suspension. A filter system using Millipore filters was set up and the movement of zoospores across the filter was studied under different conditions.

Dermatophilus congolensis: Strain differences in expression of phospholipase activities

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997
Interactions between Dermatophilus congolensis strains and with other bacteria of known haemolytic activities were used to elucidate the complex nature of haemolytic activities present in various D. congolensis strains. This was further analysed by measuring their specific phospholipase activities against defined substrates by thin layer chromatography.

[Dermatophilus congolensis infection in Brandenburg].

DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 1995
At first time Dermatophilus (D.) congolensis-infection was diagnosed in Brandenburg in 3 sheep herds and in one horse, which had contact to diseased sheep. The causative agent was introduced from West-Germany probably. Cause of the disease was influenced by a longer rain period and by secondary infections through Staph. aureus var. ovis.
