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
