Abstract
Dermatophilus congolensis was isolated from skin lesions of 2 Japanese Black cattle bred on different farms in Miyazaki Prefecture. In both cases, gross lesions demonstrated exudative inflammation and incrustation. Histopathological observation of severe parakeratosis and many branching mycelia led to a diagnosis of dermatophilosis. Isolates were sensitive in vitro to such antibiotics in veterinary usage as penicillin and streptomycin. Common disinfectants at conventional concentrations easily sterilized them. Intramuscular injections of the penicillin-streptomycin complex sol were effective and produced marked improvement in skin lesions in both cases. This is the first case of cattle dermatophilosis reported in Miyazaki Prefecture.
