. Veterinary studies for agricultural students. Veterinary medicine. LECTURE XXXV BACILLUS NECROPHORUS INFECTIONS Here we have a group of similar diseases, each due princi- pally to B. necrophorus. Included in this group are: foot-rot of sheep, foul foot in cattle, lip and leg ulceration of sheep, canker sore mouth in young pigs, and necrotic enteritis of older hogs. In each case, the characteristic lesion is a local inflam- mation with a marked tendency to local necrosis, for example, an ulcer or a diphtheritic Fig. 57.—Bacillus Necrophorus. (B. A. I.)

In each case, the characteristic lesion is a local inflam- mation with a marked tendency to local necrosis, for example, an ulcer or a diphtheritic Fig. 57.—Bacillus Necrophorus. (B. A. I.) Coccoid, bacillary and filamentous forms. Cause.—The principal cause of necrophorus infections is Bacillus necrophorus. A distinctive peculiarity of this bacillus is its tendency to destroy local tissue through its products. This bacillus is associated with filth. It is apparently a nor- mal inhabitant of the intestines of swine, and perhaps of other animals. Infection is therefore liable to come from manure or from contaminated soil, soil recently fertilized with hog ma- nure, for example. 170.
