Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, nonacid-fast, nonmotile bacterium.Distributed worldwide, E. rhusiopathiae is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing the disease known as erysipelas that may affect a wide range of animals.
In animals erysipelas is a disease caused by infection with the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. In animals it is called Diamond Skin Disease and occurs especially in pigs. Heart valves and skin are affected.
The best-known species within the genus is Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, which is the cause of erysipelas of domestic pigs, poultry and other animal species. In humans, E. rhusiopathiae infections are termed erysipeloid.
Erysipeloid of Rosenbach is a cutaneous condition most frequently characterized by a purplish marginated swelling on the hands. [6]: 264 The eponym Rosenbach's disease is in reference to the milder type of the condition and is named after Friedrich Julius Rosenbach. [7]
Erysipelas in animals - disease in various species caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Exudative epidermitis - Disease in pigs caused by Staphylococcus hyicus. Rhodococcus equi - Important cause of pneumonia in foals. Streptococcal lymphadenitis - AKA cervical lymphadenitis or lumps, disease in guinea pigs.
"In animals, erysipelas is a disease caused by infection with the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae can also infect humans, but in that case the infection is known as erysipeloid."
The Erysipelotrichia are a class of bacteria of the phylum Bacillota.Species of this class are known to be common in the gut microbiome, as they have been isolated from swine manure [1] and increase in composition of the mouse gut microbiome for mice switched to diets high in fat.
Examples of bacterial infections that could potentially be treated with tylosin include respiratory infections, metritis, and acute mastitis in cattle; mastitis in sheep and goats; enteritis, pneumonia, erysipelas, and infectious arthritis in swine; and soft-tissue infections in small animals.
