Licking of open wounds by dogs could transmit rabies if the dog is infected with rabies, [57] although this is said by the CDC to be ...
Neisseria weaveri is a gram-negative bacterium associated with dog bite wounds. It is rod-shaped and non-motile with type strain M-5. [1] The genome sequences of two strains (LMG 5135T and ATCC 51223T) were determined and deposited into GenBank (accession numbers AFWQ00000000 and AFWR00000000), respectively. Each genome was 2.1 Mb in size ...
The bacterium is a commensal of the upper respiratory tract of cats and dogs, and they may cause pulmonary infections in cat. [1] In humans Neisseria animaloris have been reported to cause wound infection after animal bites but also chronic otitis media , bacteremia and endophtalmitis .
Streptococcus canis is a group G beta-hemolytic species of Streptococcus. [1] It was first isolated in dogs, giving the bacterium its name. These bacteria are characteristically different from Streptococcus dysgalactiae, which is a human-specific group G species that has a different phenotypic chemical composition.
Miller died in 1960, and the first edition of The Anatomy of the Dog was published posthumously in 1964, [1] with George C. Christensen and Howard E. Evans as co-authors. [2] Evans and Christensen also co-authored the second edition, published in 1979, retitled as Miller's Anatomy of the Dog . [ 3 ]
This includes fungal infections of the foot, impetigo, pemphigus, superficial wounds, dermatitis, and tropical ulcers. [3] [2] For tropical ulcers it is used together with procaine benzylpenicillin. [2] [3] It can be applied as a soaked dressing or a bath. [2] Side effects may include irritation of the skin and discoloration of clothing. [2]
