ISOLATION OF ERYSIPELOTHRIX RHUSIOPATHIAE FROM A 55 YEAR OLD MAN AND A POSITIVE TRACING OF THE INFECTION TO CHICKEN-RAISING PREMISE

SALAMAH,A.A., Microbiologica,11, 169-171, 1988.

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from the swollen finger of a 55 year old man. The swelling was due to a peck by an infected chicken. Tracing the infection to the chicken-raising premises has proven that the bacterium was present in some of the chicken and manure samples.
