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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Identification of an alkaline ceramidase gene from Dermatophilus congolensis

Veterinary Microbiology, 2004
A 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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Enzymatic activities of Dermatophilus congolensis measured by API ZYM®

Veterinary Microbiology, 1993
API ZYM kit was used to test enzymatic activities on eighteen strains of Dermatophilus congolensis. All strains produced lipase and acid phosphatase, which act on lipids, and leucine arylamidase which act on proteins. Another 10 exoenzymes were present in at least one of the strains.
