Description
Bacteriological examinations were carried out on samples from foot lesions found in two herds of cows, and in a large calf fattening unit. In all, 116 cases of gangrenous pododermatitis, foot rot or sole ulcer were found, and beta-haemolytic Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Proteus, Enterobacter, Corynebacterium [Actinomyces] pyogenes, enterococci, spirochaetes and leptospires were isolated. No anaerobic bacteria were isolated. It is suggested that Bacteroides necrophorus may have been implicated in the first few days of the inflammatory process
