BACTE LEC: ME DERMATOPHILUS Flashcards
It is a gram-positive, branching, filamentous, and segmenting rod-shaped bacterium.
Dermatophilus congolensis
It is the only significant pathogen in the genus Dermatophilus.
Dermatophilus congolensis
It is an aerobic, non-spore-forming bacterium that produces motile zoospores.
Dermatophilus congolensis
It was formerly known as Actinomyces congolensis, Streptothrix bovis, and Nocardia dermatonomus.
Dermatophilus congolensis
It is the primary mode of transmission of Dermatophilus congolensis infection.
Direct contact, fomites, and biting insects
It is the primary diagnostic method for Dermatophilus congolensis, using smears from moistened scabs.
Methylene blue or Gram staining
It is a disease caused by Dermatophilus congolensis in sheep, characterized by wool matting and crust formation.
Lumpy wool disease
It is the environmental condition that promotes the release of Dermatophilus zoospores.
Moisture or wet conditions
It is the main predisposing factor for Dermatophilus infection in sheep, associated with dipping.
Wool wax-suint ratio
It is a bacterial disease in sheep affecting the lower legs and feet, causing ulcerative dermatitis.
Strawberry foot-rot
It is a type of bacterial infection affecting cattle, horses, sheep, and goats, leading to crusty skin lesions.
Dermatophilosis
It is the class of antibiotics to which Dermatophilus congolensis is highly susceptible.
Tetracyclines, penicillin, chloramphenicol
It is a bacterial infection in cats, usually initiated by puncture wounds.
Dermatophilosis
It is the best culture medium for isolating Dermatophilus congolensis.
Blood agar
It is the primary immune response involved in protecting against Dermatophilus congolensis.
Antibody formation and delayed hypersensitivity (cell-mediated immunity)
It is the method used to identify Dermatophilus in deteriorated scabs with bacterial contamination.
Fluorescent antibody technique
It is the type of motility exhibited by Dermatophilus zoospores.
Flagellar motility
It is the term used to describe Dermatophilus infection in horses affecting the pastern and coronets.
Greasy heel or mud fever
It is a synonym for Dermatophilosis that reflects its fungal-like appearance.
Mycotic dermatitis
It is a common method of transmission for Dermatophilus congolensis in Africa, involving birds.
Pecker birds
It is a major factor determining breed susceptibility to Dermatophilosis in cattle.
Genetic resistance or susceptibility
It is the bacterial feature that allows Dermatophilus congolensis to invade the epidermis.
Hyphal branching and septation into coccoid cells
