Experimental infection in mice with Dermatophilus (D.) congolensis-like microorganisms was carried out, intraperitoneally and subcutaneously. This strain had been isolated from porcine tonsil and reported to be different in some morphological and biological points from D. congolensis. Macroscopic examination revealed multiple abscesses in the peritoneal cavities, or subcutaneous abscesses after the intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection respectively. Histopathologic examination revealed the characteristic arrangement of the neutrophils surrounding the bacterial colony and peripheral macrophages in the abscess lesions. The lesions contained many microorganisms which showed wide range of the characteristic morphologic variation such as: mycelial elements, coccoid elements and large coccoid elements with transverse or longitudinal septa. Chlamydospore-like elements were sometimes found in the microcolonies in early lesions. The morphology of the lesions and the microorganisms was compared with those of other bacteria including D. congolensis.
用类刚果嗜皮菌（Dermatophilus congolensis）微生物对小鼠进行了腹腔内和皮下的实验性感染。该菌株是从猪扁桃体中分离出来的，据报道在某些形态和生物学特征上与刚果嗜皮菌不同。肉眼检查发现，腹腔内注射或皮下注射后，分别在腹腔内出现多个脓肿或皮下脓肿。组织病理学检查显示，脓肿病变中嗜中性粒细胞围绕细菌菌落并伴有外周巨噬细胞的特征性排列。病变中含有许多微生物，这些微生物表现出广泛的特征性形态变异，如：菌丝体成分、球菌样成分以及带有横向或纵向隔膜的大球菌样成分。在早期病变的小菌落中有时会发现类厚垣孢子样成分。将病变和微生物的形态与包括刚果嗜皮菌在内的其他细菌进行了比较。
