Our study reveals the association between a chronic local-generalized clinical hard-skin infection in a 2-year-oldSannen goat and pathogens identified from lesions. The particular infection consists of a deep haemorrhagic-purulent,non-contagious, ineffectively treated dermatitis. The open skin lesions were infected with a mixed microbial flora. It
was therefore difficult to identify the actual pathogenic microorganism necessary for effective and specific treatment. By conventional bacteriological examinations, we identified three bacterial pathogens: a haemolytic strain of Staphylococcus, a non-haemolytic strain of Corynebacterium and a haemolytic and highly proteolytic strain of
Trueperella pyogenes. We also isolated many other germs, including Gram negatives that do not ferment lactose. For
Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium, we assessed antibiotic susceptibility by the Kirby-Bauer diffusimetric method.
Through local and general antibiotic treatment (beta-lactams, aminoglycosides), associated with a stimulation of the
immune system and prevention of possible secondary liver disease, an improvement in housing conditions also
improved clinical condition, appetite, livability and wound healing rate.
