Cutaneous bacterial infections tend to be called pyodermas. They are superficial, deep and are common in dogs, but less common in other species.




Deep Pyoderma

Bacterial Pododermatitis


Systemic Bacterial Infections

  • Salmonellosis
    • Capillary dilatation and congestion -> cyanosis of external ears and abdoman
    • Thrombosis -> necrosis of extremities
  • Erysipelas in pigs
    • Caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
    • Vasculitis, thrombosis, ischaemia -> cutaneous lesions - firm, raises, rhomboidal pink to dark purple areas
  • Clostridium novyi
    • Severe cellulitis, toxaemia and death of young rams during breeding season (due to traumatised heads) - 'big head'
  • Streptococcus equi
    • In horses
    • Immune complex vasculitis -> purpura
