- Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
"Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae" is a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium. Distributed world-wide, "E. rhusiopathiae" is primarily considered an animal pathogen, causing a disease known as erysipelas in animals (and erysipeloid in humans – see below). Turkeys and pigs are most commonly affected, but cases have been reported in other birds, sheep, fish, and reptiles.[cite journal |author=Brooke C, Riley T |title=Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae: bacteriology, epidemiology and clinical manifestations of an occupational pathogen |journal=J Med Microbiol |volume=48 |issue=9 |pages=789–99 |year=1999 |pmid=10482289] The human disease called erysipelas is not caused by "E. rhusiopathiae", but by various members of the genus "Streptococcus".] Pathogenesis
In humans, "E. rhusiopathiae" infections most commonly present in a mild cutaneous form known as "erysipeloid".[cite journal |author=Lehane L, Rawlin G |title=Topically acquired bacterial zoonoses from fish: a review |journal=Med J Aust |volume=173 |issue=5 |pages=256–9 |year=2000 |pmid=11130351] It gains entry typically by abrasions in the hand. Bacteremia and endocarditis are uncommon sequelae.][cite journal |author=Brouqui P, Raoult D |title=Endocarditis due to rare and fastidious bacteria |journal=Clin Microbiol Rev |volume=14 |issue=1 |pages=177–207 |year=2001 |pmid=11148009 |doi=10.1128/CMR.14.1.177-207.2001] ][cite journal |author=Nassar I, de la Llana R, Garrido P, Martinez-Sanz R |title=Mitro-aortic infective endocarditis produced by "Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae": case report and review of the literature |journal=J Heart Valve Dis |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=320–4 |year=2005 |pmid=15974525] Due to the rarity of reported human cases, "E. rhusiopathie" infections are frequently misidentified at presentation.] References
