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.

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

Isolation of Dermatophilus congolensis from a Cat

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 2000
Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from a cat with dermatitis. The isolate was sensitive to oxytetracyclin, streptomycin and penicillin but resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin, gentamycin and cefoperazone.

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 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.

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 ...
