HUMAN INFECTION WITH DERMATOPHILUS CONGOLENSIS *
Medical Journal of Australia, 1962Dermatophilosis 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, 2001When 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.

Pitted Keratolysis and Dermatophilus congolensis
Archives of Dermatology, 1972Pitted 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 ...

Hemolytic Interactions of Dermatophilus congolensis
Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 1992SummaryThe 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

An in vivo method of assay for Dermatophilus congolensis
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983An 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 ...

Chemotherapy of epidermal infection with Dermatophilus congolensis
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1967Abstract 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.

Subcutaneous infection with Dermatophilus congolensis in a cat
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1976Abstract 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

Quantification of keratinolytic activity from Dermatophilus congolensis
Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 1991The 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, 2010Summary 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.

Identification of an alkaline ceramidase gene from Dermatophilus congolensis
Veterinary Microbiology, 2004A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure was used to identify a specific 0.6 kb DNA fragment unique to Dermatophilus congolensis. This 0.6 kb fragment was evaluated as a specific DNA probe and used to design oligonucleotide primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
