Description
Dermatophilus congolensis is a gram positive, non-acid fast, facultative anaerobic actinomycetes that causes an epidermal skin infection in bovine, ovine, and equine species. This thesis studies the inhibitory effects of common antibacterial topical products on Dermatophilus congolensis. An initial experiment was performed on equine subjects and a secondary experiment was performed using a live strain of the bacteria. Seven different topical products were used in the final experiment, each showing some level of growth inhibition. Chlorhexidine 2% scrub was by far the most potent product with the greatest growth inhibition in each experiment. The use of a topical product such as Chlorhexidine is not only effective, but it helps to reduce bacterial resistance.
