Dermatophilus congolensis is a Gram-positive bacterium and the cause of a disease called dermatophilosis (sometimes called mud fever) in animals and humans, a dermatologic condition that manifests as the formation of crusty scabs containing the microorganism. It has been erroneously called mycotic dermatitis.[1] Rainscald is another condition often seen in animals, which is also caused by D. congolensis.
