ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНОЕ ЗАРАЖЕНИЕ ПОРОСЯТ ТОКСИН-ПРОДУЦИРУЮЩИМИ ШТАММАМИ STAPHYLOCOCCUS HYICUS
Abstract
S. hyicus is worldwide known as causative agent of exudative epidermitis in pigs. The disease is characterized
by a general infection of the skin, exfoliation and vesicle formation. S. hyicus is part of the normal skin
flora of pigs, cattle and poultry. A strains of S. hyicus producing exfoliative toxins type A, B, C and D (exhA,
exhB, exhC and exhD). 12 Pigs were experimentally inoculated with toxin producing S. hyicus strains DSM
20459, 1289D-88, 6407/01 and K-10. By clinical observations of the skin alterations, all pigs revealed development
of generalized exudative epidermitis. 2 pigs were experimentally inoculated with no toxin producing
S. hyicus strain K-2. The result of this study show that toxin producing strains S. hyicus may cause exudative
epidermitis in pigs.
