“…The present results on the antimicrobial susceptibilities of the E. rhusiopathiae isolate from the affected cat are in general agreement with previous reports on the antimicrobial susceptibility of the clinical isolates of swine [13]. Similar antimicrobial susceptibility observations using antimicrobial agents against various sources of the bacterium were also reported elsewhere [5,22].…”

It has also been reported as an occupational pathogen in humans, is prevalent in those working in association with animals and animal products and has thus far been isolated from many species of birds and mammals, including humans [20].…”

ABSTRACT. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is pathogenic for humans, many domestic animals and wild birds, but infectious cases with clinical symptoms in cats have not been reported. E. rhusiopathiae was recovered from a 4-month Russian blue breed cat with a very poor body condition score of 1 (BCS: 1/5). The isolate was typed as serotype 2b. Mice experimentally infected with the clinical isolate of E. rhusiopathiae through subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes survived, and the organism was recovered from the spleen and synovial and pericardial fluids. Cats experimentally inoculated with the isolate either orally or subcutaneously survived but commonly exhibited depression and emaciation together with localized erythemal lesion of the skin accompanied by purulent ocular discharge. On hematological analysis, the number of total white blood cells was high compared with that in normal cats. Histological examination revealed congestion and moderate inflammation with focal necrosis. This observation may provide insight on E. rhusiopathiae infection in cats with the possible epidemiological significance and implications as a potential source of infection to other animals and humans.

“…In many species, outbreaks are associated with rainy, cold weather. Sources of the organism may be contaminated feed, soil, or decaying matter; infected carrier birds within the flock; ectoparasites; or infected rodents (Gerlach, 1994;Bricker & Saif, 1997;Brooke & Riley, 1999;Fidalgo et al ., 2002;Chirico et al ., 2003).…”

Erysipelas in the critically endangered kakapo (Strigops habroptilus)

et al. 2005

This paper describes the effect of a disease outbreak on the success of a translocation for conservation management in a critically endangered species. Three juvenile kakapo from a group of 19 translocated birds died within 72 h of transport between New Zealand offshore islands. Clinical findings, gross necropsy changes, cytology, histopathology and bacterial culture confirmed systemic disease caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. On the island from which the kakapo were sourced, positive cultures of E. rhusiopathiae were obtained from the medulla of the ulna from 10 out of 15 seabird carcasses examined, suggesting that this could be the source of infection for the kakapo. Immediately after the diagnosis, all of the translocated birds were re-captured and treated with antibiotics. A vaccination programme has commenced using a commercial killed bacterin developed for turkeys. The disease outbreak has had costly implications for the population and conservation management of the species. This is the first report of erysipelas in wild parrots, and the first report of the management of erysipelas in a critically endangered wild population of birds.

“…El tratamiento en base a penicilina fue exitoso en el caso descrito. Daptomicina o las quinolonas son alternativas cuando los betalactámicos están contraindicados 13,14 . La duración del tratamiento intravenoso es de 4 a 6 semanas, si bien hay reportados tratamientos intravenosos más breves combinados con vía oral 10 .…”
