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 its accompanying pathology are described. This work provides further evidence that, although D. congolensis is usually restricted to the skin, it is capable of producing lesions elsewhere.
